Well Being with Don Oakley

The Great Sorrow of Compassion

Compassion literally means to suffer with. This is voluntary suffering in the sense that you care enough to feel the hurt empathetically, although, depending on your degree of sensitivity, it may not feel like a voluntary choice at all. The only authentic response to witnessing the unnecessary suffering in the world today is great sorrow. This work is about relieving that unnecessary suffering in ourselves and, consequently, the world.
