“Peace that arises from compassion pacifies fear just as
water puts out fire.”
Now, I know what you’re thinking: we’re back on compassion
AGAIN? Of course we are. I know I realized it long before today, but all of the
lessons eventually tie back into each other. I’m a bit on the sick side
tonight, so I’m going to make it as brief as I can (so I can crawl into bed and
go to sleep).
Compassion is a wonderful thing. It’s magical in its own
right, really. So it makes sense to say that peace that is brought about by an
act of compassion will help negate a person’s fears (or the fears of many
people). Let’s take a random selfless act: my daughter’s Girl Scout troop
collects food donations for a local family who isn’t able to make the ends
meet. That is a great act of compassion, and the fears of that family will be
silenced – at least for a time – which will bring about a less stressful time
for the parents (which will, in turn, bring about a sense of peace).
If you’re not following, it may be because my logic isn’t
entirely sound when I have the flu. That is the best way I could describe it at
the moment, and even if you don’t know what I mean, at least I know. That’s it
for now, as I’m being overcome by sleep.
Goodnight and Blessed Be.
