"compassion is what shapes all of life in a
really simple direct sense. You wouldn’t have made it successfully to coherent
adulthood without someone loving you as best they could. The altruism of the
fundamental bonds between people – in all that is wrong with the world, don’t
miss that. We can focus on the shortcomings of people and miss the fact that
they’re here, they’re alive, they are breathing, they are in front of us, they
are feeling pain, they are doing their best." Susan Murphy - "The Sufferer's Standard" Dharma Talk
