Tell me, who have you personally helped?
Such a question to any of us will not be so correct, because it looks like reporting, when you need to pass a check, put seals, fill out a questionnaire indicating the points "where, what, how much, to whom". If this is not an NGO engaged in its activities, but an ordinary person, then each of us should stand at the mirror for himself, look into his own eyes and answer this question. We often meet on social networks, on the Internet, pictures and photos that serve for all of us as an external effect, a motivator, a reminder that in addition to jokes and entertainment on social networks, in addition to personal consumer desires, there is still a whole living world around us. The main thing is not to forget about it.
I'll just say what I think. All these pictures, posts are all like one thing, in fact words. We just used to perceive words somewhat narrowly, interpreting them as smoke, wind or nothing. But after all, words are an outer shell, it should not be perceived as nothing. It's like an external manifestation. And these words, all this is external - it manifests itself thanks to previous mistakes from the past, experience, bad or good, we pay for our word in the present with the experience of the past. Any word or other external effect is what we have already paid for and experienced, and what we have come to. If we deceive someone in our external manifestations, look for profit in this, or just want to appear, then we kind of step over ourselves and our past, we devalue ourselves. In this case, it's not even words that are nothing, but the person himself who betrays himself. Therefore, it is important just for everyone in front of you, when there is no one to deceive, only yourself, to evaluate what any of your external manifestations mean - it comes from the heart or it is empty. We are personally responsible to ourselves and only we ourselves know what we are. From the outside, in everything we have said, we can see part of the essence of any person, including ourselves.
Compassion is one of the manifestations of love. The quality of consciousness in a person that does not allow you to become callous and gives useful things to those in need. When any photo, any post, words, statements are an external effect of the manifestation of this concept. As for the effectiveness of compassion, this is another conversation that usually does not go beyond external effects. Let's not forget about the living world we live in. Amid the hustle and bustle, personal ambitions and difficulties, we can do something useful not only to please our own desires - in this case, the world will become a little better. (Ship Shard)
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
(Sara Teasdale)
