Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human ‘brain’ with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human ‘heart’ with compassion.
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.

The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.

Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.

When our hearts are empty, we embrace the things, thoughts and people.

The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should obey it.
