I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.
It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit.
Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
