    “Wow, this video beautifully highlights the profound impact of compassion on our lives and communities. It’s amazing how small acts of kindness can create ripples of positive change. The stories shared here remind me of the saying, ‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind.’ Compassion not only helps others but also enriches our own lives, fostering deeper connections and greater empathy. Thank you for shedding light on this often-overlooked superpower! 🌟”

    When feeling overwhelmed, take a short walk/hike. I encourage all of you to go sit on a stump in the woods, any path is fine. Listen to the birds sing. Breathe the goodness which the trees and plants offer us. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine in trees, passing time in your own company cannot be better for the mind.

    “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~Albert Einstein

    Proverbs 12:10"A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal,
    But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel."
    Animals and plants 🪴 have a symbiotic relationship. Both are food, plus there is not one without the other.

    Vegetarians: All lives deserve respect.

      Reflect on how to create personal boundaries so that you may continue to act with kindness without being harmed. If in immediate danger of being harmed (mentally, verbally, or any othet way), feel free to choose to physically remove yourself from the situation/person. No explanation is necessary. You may simply hang up or walk away.

      Humans are the only animals to enslave breed 80, billion land animals per year and slaughter them. Factory farms are breeding grounds for the mutation and spread of viruses, pollution, and unimaginable suffering to these beautiful sentient beings.
      Humans do not need to eat other animals to live - just like gorillas or cows or horses who eat only plants.
