Compassion through social strife

[Sacred Fool]

I believe compassion cannot be „offered“ and it cannot be „made“ (although you probably didnt mean it that way).
I think compassion is something that either occurs or does not occur, it cannot be forced, if it doesnt.

Apart from that, I am not even sure if compassion really is what the situation calls for.

I take a much simpler view of this, myself.  For me, either a person's energy system is adequately free to be in a state general compassion for other selves much of the time or it is blocked in various ways which keeps it at a, so to speak, less enlightened level of functioning.  For instance, you mentioned powerlessness, and there's anger and a great variety of other such energies which can clog up a person's energetic apparatus to the point where compassion disappears when one feels under pressure.

It's just my personal view, but as a one who feels some obligation to be of service to this struggling planet and her suffering inhabitants, I feel that compassion is absolutely called for now, not by faking it, but by freeing up oneself to allow the love of the One Creator to shine through one in these dark times.

And I don't say this as a matter of rhetoric.  I endeavour to live this way by devoting a large amount of my time to releasing my fears at various levels, as well as other attendant blockages such as arrogance, meanness, etc.  I also endeavour to channel Divine energies from my spiritual connections through me into our little planet.

Of course, if you read my posts on these forums, the above may sound surprising.  (I.e., I surely do not view arrogance, for example, only through the rear view mirror.)  I'm not claiming perfection, by any means, only dedication.
