PITY AND COMPASSION
|
We find Darkness
trying to elaborate a plan to confuse and made fun of Light and she was
thinking :
-It is very true the
fact that man hurts and attacks his own kind and this is a complex
topic. But the conflict is neither in the pain nor in the misfortune
because that is already known. It is obvious and clear, although the
major part of the world is blind and ignorant. And many times is their
decision since the pain exists and there are few who see it. But let's
set a trap for Light.
Then, calling with
potency and arrogance to Light,
she said : - The world is full of misfortunes, the earth rocks in anguish, melancholy and pain. Don't you think, Light, that there are very few who are aware of the tragedy and the pain ? But I also want to know your position. What do you feel ? Pity ? Is that your pain ? Do you grieve for their suffering and needs ? How do you see this reality ? I feel that the majority of men are affected by the misfortune that they see. And they wonder, what would happen if this was happening to me. But besides what is seen and what is known, is the attitude of the strong and of the powerful, who often say : " What a pity, how much pain, how could so many misfortunes, afflictions and lamentations happen ? I pity so many unhappy people "
Tell me Light,
don't you think that the powerful is right and that there is glory in
that heart who sees the affliction of the others and says " how horrible
" and extends his hand to offer a piece of bread ? Don't you think that
this is a great solution ? Tell me Light, is pity good ?
What is the solution.
Then, Light
answered to Darkness :
-Nobody is free
from pain and much less from affliction. But you need to
understand something about truth, something that is most
important.
Even the
purest pain does not solve the question. A piece of bread is not the matter, there are
other important, fundamental and necessary aspects.
Listen with
attention. The world truly is afflicted and the bread is good but is
not the solution. The answer is not found in the bread but in
Compassion. I will explain the difference to you. When you feel pity, it is you facing the conflict that has caused you pain. And you
want to get rid of that sensation, then, you offer a service,
you give attention because you don't want to see so much pain, but
you don't look beyond yourself. You are in front of what you don't want
to see. You are in front of death. You are in front of agony. You despise the
need, but you keep on being yourself, so distant, so detached from
this reality.
Pity is not
born out of the heart. You don't have any other commitment than your
own pocket. It is like using a perfumed handkerchief to get rid of
the bad smell. You may pay, you
may give many services but in your heart you are wondering :
Poor ones, what have they done ? You don't
serve, you serve yourself. Pity is never generous, does not
have nobility, only the saying " I don't want this, it frightens,
scares, bothers me. Take that child, that animal away
from me "
Pity does not
love, but despises, it covers the problem with a perfumed cloth
so you don't have to smell it. But in truth, you don't feel anything, since your heart has not cried not even
a tear.
Do not confuse then, pity with compassion.
Compassion is a great mother, a great father and friend, who
looks after all as if we were one body.
I assure you that compassion is the unity who feels the other's pain as its own.
But does not look to escape, rather looks how to unite as two hands
who join to pray. Then the heart has
become great because the love has bloomed inside as I have felt that
your heart and mine are neither distant nor indifferent.
And when you laugh, we laugh together. When you grieve, I embrace you, I try to help
with your burden and I want to carry it. If I have bread, I give you
bread. I love you as my own life, I feel it this way. And I know
that you and I have never been apart, your pain is also mine. If it
is necessary to solve a problem, we will solve it together.
I don't feel
rich or powerful, I only feel that I love you and that is the reason
that there are no tears and will never be abandonment. On the
contrary, I will sit and I will have dinner with you and we will
share the bread of sorrow and of glory. Not only to fill the hunger
but to know that we are united. Because when your heart beats, mine
also beats.
This is the great
difference between true Love that exists in
the understanding.
