The perfect life with everything, with more that i could imagine Was with you and everything that follows, a whole life full of tomorrows When im near you I get this special feeling in my heart, that happens to dissapear when we are apart Because you manage to bright up my day, and just the thought that we would always stay Always stay together you and i, and live happily ever after as the days go by ↗

Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate. Compassion is hard because it requires the inner disposition to go with others to place where they are weak, vulnerable, lonely, and broken. But this is not our spontaneous response to suffering. What we desire most is to do away with suffering by fleeing from it or finding a quick cure for it. ↗
