Love and Compassion Are Necessities, Not Luxuries

The results of compassion for others and oneself are likely to improve every aspect of life. It will nurture a sense of inner safety, offering contact with that caring part we can reliably access even when others may disappoint or cause harm. We are also more likely to seek out this capacity in others via projection and self-care. And over time, feelings of connection and the ability to nurture meaningful and abiding relationships will grow stronger. ⁣⁣

Ultimately, we will find ourselves more fully situated in the human family, feeling that we belong where it is warm and welcoming, where compassion is freely given and easily received.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.
