בס"ד
If compassion is not to be condescending, it must
include humility. Hod is recognizing that my ability to be
compassionate and giving does not make me better than the recipient; it
is the acknowledgment and appreciation that by creating one who needs
compassion God gave me the gift of being able to bestow compassion. Thus
there is no place for haughtiness in compassion.
Do I feel superior because I am compassionate?
Do
I look down at those that need my compassion?
Am I humble and thankful
to God for giving me the ability to have compassion for others?
Exercise for the day: Express compassion in an anonymous fashion, not taking any personal credit.
