Adversity's Blessing
When
empathy spontaneously arises, we sense the power of love as a blessing
revealed by adversity. How embarrassing it is to see how preoccupied we
have been with our own petty concerns! Seeing how affection stirs people
to acts of selflessness inspires us to extend ourselves as well. With
loving kindness we see the needs of others and respond.
