Changing of the Seasons

We should have compassion for others because as humans we should help each other. It is who we are, I feel like we are wired to feel bad for the people around us and do what we can to make the world better for them. The one quote that reminds me of compassion is “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. I learned this in elementary school, but I don’t remember who or where I heard it from. Nevertheless, I try everyday to follow this quote and help others whenever I can. Just because you don’t have any problems right now, doesn't mean you’ll live without problems or obstacles your whole life. Life can turn around at any moment and as humans we need support from the people around us or we won’t make it in life. It also feel good to help others and it usually doesn’t affect you negatively. With all this being said, I think there is a limit to compassion. Sometimes people need to bear some responsibility to what has happened to them. They, and we, shouldn’t always think they are just victims of bad luck or a bad/unfair world. Also we shouldn’t let people take advantage of our compassion. Unfortunately some people do this and hurt other who are only trying to help them.
