Compassion

i believe that compassion is one of the greatest contributors to good deeds in this world. If you look in the dictionary this is what you will find if you look up compassion, Merriam-Websters dictionary defines compassion as ''sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it.'' so basically it is feeling sorry for someone and because of that feeling you decide to help them. the biblical definition of compassion is to relieve someone from their suffering. i thought it was interesting that compassion does not only mean that you notice that someone is suffering but that it is coupled with a desire to relieve them from it.
