Supporting one’s parents, cherishing spouse and children and a peaceful occupation; this is the greatest blessing.
Compassion is fellow feeling or sorrow for the sufferings of another. Compassion opens the door for freedom and expands the heart. It melts the hardened and makes people as soft as butter.
