Transform Yourself and the World Around You Broken, wounded, violent, damaged, divisive—these are some descriptions given to the current global situation. Our world desperately needs the noble, essential quality of compassion to be activated—and will not heal without it. Depending on how we respond, we can increase or decrease the amount of anguish in the world. Only with compassion at the core of humanity's lived experience will we be able to approach one another with true respect and dwell in peacefulness. Explore Personal and Professional Compassion Compassion is a way of life—an inner posture of how to be with suffering, both our own and others, and a desire to move that attitude into action. Compassion involves an 'inside-out' movement. A radical change unfolds in us when compassion becomes a way of life, a transformation as far-reaching as an acorn growing into a tree, an egg producing a chicken, or a caterpillar metamorphosing into a butterfly.
