eric     Eric Whitacre is one of the good guys.  He may not seem like the obvious choice for singling out in regards to compassion but that is exactly why I have chosen him.

Most people see compassion as something outside of the themselves, something extra, something heroic that they do to help others.  Some people argue that they have nothing to give or nothing more to give.  They will say they have nothing to offer.  Compassion is about making who you are and whatever you do . . . a gift.  It is almost the process of valuing that in yourself and your willingness to share it with another that transcends all the barriers and transforms it into this magical energy that touches the lives of all it comes into contact with.

It is true that none of us can help everyone but each of us can help someone.  No one of us is going to solve the world’s problem and thinking that helping is going to require that, or measuring our efforts to help one against the entire need for help is only going to defeat us.  All we have to do is what we can, each moment.  Look around, someone can use your compassion.  It is contagious.  It will be passed on.

It is a way of living, not a single act.  Those who plot and purposefully hurt others without ever taking responsibility for the pain they cause are often the most miserable of people.  Choosing kindness and love changes you and it changes your life.  The world is a much kinder place when you see it with people who are struggling just like you instead of people you must eliminate and destroy in order to find your own happiness.
