What Is Compassion?

Real compassion is the desire to alleviate a wish for somebody to alleviate their pain and suffering. We are distinct beings, right? If I pinch myself, you don't feel it. The eye part of the mind says I am that makes ourselves permanent and forever. But what we are is a being that is changing in a constant state of change. There's nothing solid. And even this very being, this identity is going to change and transform at some point, apparently.
