One can also go compassion, which implies that one is detached from oneself, without what one can easily confuse it with the compassion, with his component of kindness. In the same way the compassion towards others can be confused with the pity, with the modern direction, with its connotation of condescension.These two distortions of the compassion are thus sterile, because it misses there a help, a support credits and effective, as far as possible.

In Christianity
August 1st The compassion in the Christianity, evokes a feeling of pity; who incites us to carry out acts of: Charity and to help our next. One acts by compassion, by achieving any act of division. If one is to hate somebody, it is impossible to test compassion for this last; in the contrary case, all the means necessary will be used with an aim: to help or deliver the person or even people who deserve to be saved. If a Christian feels a feeling of compassion , it is that it would be also laid out to achieve an act of charity by consideration; but not, in theory, in the indifference. One can consider that the Virgin Mary had a real compassion for her Jesus son, on the cross. It has suffered with him. It is asked to us to learn how to sympathize with the suffering of Christ and our next, to have the dash necessary to help our next. Christianity learns how to us to suffer while liking, and to like while suffering.
