What does compassion really mean, and is it the same as kindness?
Compassion is all-inclusive passion
Compassion means an all-inclusive passion, being equally passionate about everything and not only about one person or thing. The word has been translated as kindness, but kindness is not for a lively human being.
Because you can't exclude the world and live. So compassion means an all-inclusive passion, where you are equally passionate about everything. Unfortunately, today the word compassion has been translated as kindness.
