Compassion for me, is an unconditional love or care for someone. No matter how different you may be from him/her. It bridges the gap and sets aside all the imperfections. It knows no boundaries and it seeks no reward. ^_^. a little late for a reply but what the heck, i’ll give it a shot.

Compassion means you'd do anything for the person you have it for. It means that when you think about that person, you feel like nothing else in the world matters! Allsion Mack!

(Hebrew)rachu?m,ra?cham There are three Greek words that are typically used to express compassion and here are their definitions... 1.splagchnizomai-to be moved in the dept of your being. 2.eleeo?-to have mercy upon 3.oikteiro?-to have pity Once you see where the word compassion comes from or how it was used in older languages then the pieces of the puzzle seem to come together. You are right Allison, it is a little confusing to know what this word means because it is so often over used that you lose sight of the true depth of what this word means but I thank you because your post made me think of things that I had forgotten. These 3 Greek words are used to actually comprise the act of comassion...it is being moved emotionally within the depth of your being in ways of mercy and pity. It is to almost feel the actual pain of those whom are suffering. It means that when someone is hurting I will hurt with them until their hurt is gone, I will stand with them, I will cry with them and I will suffer with them. I will lend them my strength in their weekness and I will fight for those that cannot fight for themselves. Compassion is saying to yourself that I will withstand the insults that are thrown at me and the abuse is given me for I know that the actions of those who do so are born out of the hurt that has been relentlessly been thrown on them so many times in the past. When I have the power and the right to take vengence upon those whom have done me wrong....I will seek to understand them and give them love instead. And to the brokenhearted I give compassion in the form of pity as I just walk with them in their sorrows for I know that only time will heal their wounds. An amazing word that when put into action can change a life which if done enough can change a world. A quote by Frederick Buechner: Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. Simply a messenger Angel Compassion ????

Compassion is the feeling by which we are led to perceive or feel the suffering of others, and pushed to remedy. "I suffer with." I have great compassion for people but only people who deserve it. For example when I see a poor woman with her children in the street I have compassion after all that can happen to anyone! But for some others I spotted very easily which are homeless outside while at the end of the day you see them out a car that few people can afford a garage that's me angry Sorry i repost my comment because i’ve written in french!!

J'ai beaucoup de compassion pour les gens mais seulement pour les gens qui le méritent. Par example quand je vois une pauvre femme avec ses enfants dans la rue j'ai de la compassion après tout cela peut arriver à tout le monde!! Mais pour certains autres que je repère très facilement qui font les sans domicile fixe dehors alors qu'à la fin de la journée tu les voient sortirent une voiture que peu de gens peuvent s'offrir d'un garage ça sa me mets en colère La compassion est le sentiment par lequel on est porté à percevoir ou ressentir la souffrance des autres, et poussé à y remédier. « je souffre avec ».

For excepting every flaw and misstep. For loving when others would not and doing so without second guessing.

Trying to live like Jesus...accepting the prostitutes, the tax collectors ect. Compassion is knowing that no one is perfect and giving acceptance when we are tempted otherwise. We are all called to be compassionate every day even in the smallest of ways. We are all capable of stopping the stone from being thrown it is having the courage to say stop is where compassion lies.

I just saw your blog and found it very interesting, here is what i think:
