Looking up, I see nothing

Today we need compassion for the human predicament we are all caught in to some degree. This earthly life is a world of pain and sorrow, and there is no way to escape this karma, no one does. Yet through suffering comes wisdom, and through wisdom comes love, and through love comes the sense of Oneness. The next time you have a tendency to be angry with someone, remind yourself that deep down they are already suffering in a way you might never know about. So we need compassion first. Later we might know why, or we might not. You can never go wrong with compassion either way.
