Suppose you’re standing in the elevator of your apartment and you overheard someone telling the other person that there won’t be water tonight. Though that person didn’t speak to you directly, you still benefit from this information and can prepare yourself accordingly. Similarly when we show compassion towards someone, though we might think that the compassion is between me and the other person alone, everyone will benefit from the act. Compassion is a kind of energy that can bring solace to the entire world regardless of where it is produced. Compassion goes beyond near and far, one and many. Even a tiny compassionate act reverberates across the entirety of cosmos~
