What’s Compassion?

Mount-essori Moment #13

---

Kiyo: (Chewing a quiche) What’s the best thing to do, papa?

Me: Hmm, I think the best thing to do is to keep asking questions.

Kiyo: Oh. Why?

Me: Because if you keep asking questions, you understand more. And with understanding, you become more compassionate. And…

Kiyo: What’s compassionate?

Me: Hmm. What do you think compassionate is, Kiyo?

Kiyo: Umm, compassionate is when you hear more laughs and more crying.

Me: That’s right Kiyo. And when you hear more laughs and more crying, you will understand yourself and people around you better. And with that, more love goes around.
