NOTE

Compassion Starts Within

Universal human compassion must begin with oneself; it is essential to extend love and mercy to one's own inner self before being able to genuinely offer compassion to others. Treating oneself with stewardship, kindness, and understanding is vital, as we often hold ourselves to unattainably high standards and harsh judgments. Recognizing our own struggles, flaws, and responsibilities allows us to approach ourselves with gentleness and grace. Once we learn to forgive and accept ourselves, we find it easier to approach others with compassion, acknowledging that we are all interconnected and share similar challenges. The practice of self-kindness transforms our interactions and leads to a more empathetic world, highlighting the necessity of self-compassion as a foundation for universal compassion.
