Be Willing to Share Pain

More often than not, the most healing thing we can do with someone who is in pain, rather than trying to get rid of that pain, is to sit there and be willing to share it. –Scott Peck

Compassion begins with the acceptance of what is most human in ourselves, what is most capable of suffering. In attending to our own capacity to suffer, we can uncover a simple and profound connection between our own vulnerability and the vulnerability in all others. Experiencing this allows us to find an instinctive kindness toward life which is the foundation of all compassion and genuine service.
