I would like to start with a quote I love by Ian McLaren;,, Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle''. I love this quote because it refers to compassion. In my opinion compassion is caring and having the tendency of thinking about the needs of others. It is a state of mind and a state of emotion that drives out kindness and mercy towards other people. We might show compassion through charity acts, volunteering. It starts with kind feelings that motivate us to help those in need. It's not love but it is related to it. So for everyone out there please be compassionate towards others.

In my opinion this quote said by Dalai Lama has a great meaning to it. Most just see compassion as another word in this world, when it’s so much more than that. Compassion bring people together, makes the world a better place, and most importantly allows you to connect with others. Compassion is necessary to the human experience because it keep the world emotionally connected. With compassion, people come closer together. Compassion provides love and without this emotion, humans would be isolated from one another. Love would not be considered love without compassion. It distinguishes a human from being heartless to one who cares for people other than themselves. Being compassionate leads a person away from a path of selfishness and builds strong relationships with others. The following authors did a great job of demonstrating this.

To start with I would like to say that any kind of feeling makes us more humane, compassion is one of them. We live in a world lacking in compassion. The sad reality of humanity is that the vast majority of people ignore the suffering of others. Many prefer not to see others' suffering . Witnessing the suffering of another person can provoke fear or sadness . Too often, people are careless. We often learn compassion only after we have suffered ourselves perhaps experiencing sickness, accident, illness, death of a loved one, , bad luck…. But what we have to remember is that without it, we would descend into a state of darkness. The Dalai Lama stated it best: “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” As a conclusion I would say that that humankind needs compassion. It is my view that compassion must be learned.

I used this video with my 9th grade students . Our lesson was about dreams, self esteem and what they have to do to achieve them. Based on the video they had to answer some questions and afterwards share with us their dreams and ambitions.
