Compassion is something which comes from the inside. No one teaches you about it.The willingness to share however little you have wholeheartedly with others around you.It is spontaneous and does not need planning.
We dig into our pockets for that ten rupee note to give the old bent woman walking along the road probably abandoned by her children who themselves are trying to eke out a meal each day, or ensuring the pregnant young maid has at least one nutritious meal each day and supplementing the food of the lactating maid, or paying the fees of her school children, or taking into consideration the color of her choice for buying a new sari for the festival once a year or buying a burger for the kid hovering near the bakery with eyes longing for the same or paying for fees and books of the van driver's son who ferries your son to school each day and many more.
It is always a pleasure to give. Giving brings back more.It is really true.The joy of giving is beyond expression because the spontaneous expressions captured remain etched in our minds for ever.The right hand should never know what the left gives and vice versa which is the secret of giving.
So why a day for compassion earmarked when giving and sharing is nothing but a personal choice to be made.
