Thich Nhat Hanh on compassion and suffering:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG3PEoJpYBs
Without right understanding and compassion, we intensify our suffering, and we make others around us suffer too. We need to develop right understanding and compassion, to reduce our suffering, and others around us suffer less. It starts within us, begin with our speech and actions.
May we live in peace and harmony with ourselves, and with all other beings!
