Compassion means "to suffer with". Understanding often comes from suffering, from the pain of sitting patiently with confusion. The alternative is a fabricated existence, which happens to be our current culture; one built on haste and waste. We need to slow down and be more compassionate. Whether we're anti-this or pro-that, if all we ever do is seek information that proves us right, we're fabricating an existence. Understanding those who disagree with us is the ONLY way to shatter the illusion. As an old sage once put it: "The enemy is a good teacher." And our "enemies" are all around us, hidden behind what we do not want to look at.
