Humanity

If you want others to be happy- practice compassion If YOU want to be happy- practice compassion. The Dalai Lama What is it that makes us human? I imagine most people would agree… an essential human attribute… is our humanity. Compassion, generosity, benevolence… acting honorably… kindness, a tender heart…and love… these are the definitions of humanity. It is precisely our kindness and generosity that allows humanity to thrive… Without them…without love…without compassion… humanity cannot survive. Until we embody this definition humans we will not be. For humans cannot be humans... without humanity.
