Compassion

Prompt: What do you think compassion is? Can one show compassion even for one's worst enemy?

Compassion is caring, helping people who got themselves in a mess, lending a helping hand, understanding, affection and love. Like helping an injured animal and being a friend to one who has been abused. Caring about people who were in a plane crash, caring about a sick person, caring about a school shooting that happened, rocket ship accidents and there is a whole list more of disasters that we feel compassion for. In the right circumstances, we can show compassion for one's enemy. If this enemy killed people, it would be hard to care about him or her. Compassion is a feeling that good, honest, caring people have and maybe ones who aren't so nice will change and have some compassion as well.
