If people, try to become compassion with their lives and help others then that can help them to make their community, society to becoming a step closer for them to be compassionate with each other. There are a few steps that one must take if they wish to become compassionate
In order for compassion to be able to transform a person and society into a better place and a better place. It starts off within the person first they need to act and be different with others to start becoming more passionate within themselves. As in the book “Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life” by Karen Armstrong in this book she tells us how we can become passionate with our life if we follow these twelve steps that she has for us, but there is a specific thing she says about being compassionate “We have seen that compassion is essential to humanity. We have a biological need to be cared for and to care for others. Yet it is not easy to love ourselves.” (Armstrong, 76) As in this quote shows us that us humans, people, etc. care for others but it is not easy for us to love ourselves. Compassion can provide a personal movement transformation by being able to make yourself compassionate which will lead for you to be able to help others no
For that to happen one must see the way they treat themselves first because usually if someone is nice to other person and hears them out that shows that they treat themselves in a good way because they are showing the world their mood, the way they want to be treated. As Karen Armstrong says “The Golden Rule Requires self-knowledge; it asks that we use our own feelings as a guide to our behaviors with others. If we treat ourselves harshly, this is the way we are likely to treat other people;” (Armstrong, 77) This a step for us to take to be able to become compassionate within ourselves making us transform into a better person, meaning that we are making a difference in the world because now a day it is very hard to be able find a person who is willing to help a stranger and actually listen to their problems and try to help them out. If we start becoming compassionate with our lives, then others would get influence and start doing the same and we would be able to transform society into becoming a better place that cares for each other and that are willing to help one another in different needs when they need the help and have no one to help them.
