Developing Compassion

You might think humans should be born with all their compassion already intact. That might be true if other children didn't steal away or break children's toys or punch them in the face or hurt or torture them while they are growing up or their parents lie to them or are bad to them growing up. So, eventually everyone learns not to trust someone or a whole lot of someones.

So, why develop compassion at all?

First, you must remove yourself from people harming you physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually or all three. This is the only way you can even begin to think about how to develop compassion. As long as people are torturing you it is very difficult to develop compassion at all.

However, once you remove yourself from bad people (even if they are your relatives and friends) you can begin to think clearer thoughts and more concise thoughts about everything.

As long as people are torturing you you might be in an altered kind of place from which you can do nothing but remain sort of twisted and punitive in your thinking.

So, removing yourself from all sources of torture and pain is the easiest way to start on a path of compassion.

Once you remove sources of pain you can begin to eat better, think clearer and move forward as a completely new and healthy person.

At this point you begin to study and learn how to develop your compassion for mankind so you can use all  your skills to make your life and other lives better ongoing. And you will be so happy in doing this at this point that you no longer will want to kill yourself(or others)  hopefully at this point.

Also, remember, everyone is different. What works for one person might not work for another in exactly the same way. In other words we all must find our paths and our futures alone at first before we bring others into it. Otherwise sometimes it won't work long term. So, we make ourselves healthy first then second we help others to be healthy in all ways to but only if they ask or indicate they need our help.
