Compassion does not mean pity because pity makes one of you larger than the other. Compassion puts you on equal footing. Compassion says: “Bud, it hasn’t been all that easy for me other. You are a simple Human Being, and you are doing the best you know how at this moment. You have had a hard day, and I am not going to make it harder for you. I am going to be a [?] like a cup of tea that you sit down with and help you relax. And I will, by my very presence, help you to see and feel that we are not two but One.”

Isn’t it a custom that if [you] find a poison, you do not keep it where children can find it? Bitter words and thoughts are poison, and they have been flaunted them for all the children in the world to see. And you think you are justified. I tell you that you are not.
