Compassion is the eyes that see human situations. Compassion looks beyond the human situation and offers positive solutions to make the lives of the needy better. Compassion is the willingness to offer positive solutions to improve the lives of the needy to make them happy. Compassion is the commitment to offer positive solutions to shape the lives of the needy and make them whole again. Compassion lifts the needy from their human situations for them to experience human dignity. Compassion is the key that opens doors of human inspiration to give greater opportunities to the needy to become like anybody else. Compassion is the complete understanding of human predicaments in the lives of the needy and to reach them with an opened hands to offer them reliefs to make their well-being worthy. To have compassion upon the needy is the greatest humanitarian spirit. Compassion is not a religious dogma, but a unique character within every human being to have sympathy towards the needy and to make them feel welcome in human society. Compassion knows no distinction as to who should be helped. Peoples of compassion are always right there in human situations to offer helps to the needy. This is the essence of human dignity to show compassion towards one another to eradicate poverty and hunger that are eroding human society. Compassion is not a political policy, but a pathway to rescue the needy from their human predicaments. Compassion is a universal language found in every nation across the globe to be spoken to create happy faces for the needy. Elsewhere one day, I was walking about and saw someone in a situation. I went to this person and offered the help that I could do. This person turned to me and said, “Oh, thanks, you are very religious.” I said to the person I am a human being seeing the human situation and as a human being to offer helps to the needy. This person looked at my face and said, “Thank you if the world has more people like you there will be no people in need.” Compassion turns human suffering into human survival.
