Pain, there is the psychological, emotional and physical. Personally don't like to experience any of these types of pain and don't like to see pain in others. Being compassionate in seeing another persons pain is difficult, we are unwilling to truly look at another persons pain. We first have to accept that pain is a part of living and dying, and no one is immune to pain and suffering. Until we accept that pain and suffering is a part of this life we can't be compassionate. If we comprehend the depth of compassion, then maybe our hearts will be softer to others pain. We cannot be compassionate if we get hung up on the pain we see, we have to look past the pain. When we look past the pain and into the heart, we don't ignore the pain, we accept respect and acknowledge it. We look past the pain, past the suffering and sufferer, past the hurt to the heart. When your heart connects with the person in pain that is compassion. When your heart connects with the sufferer do not speak from analyzing and judging mind speak from what it would be like in there situation. Being compassionate means taking others feelings into consideration, listening to a persons story, not being self centered, looking past their pain and into the heart.
So many people listening to another's pain, can't wait till the sufferer quits talking so they can tell their own story of past or present pain.
