Intention is the forerunner of the mind, guiding us toward the next moment. Intention steers a course through the world, directing our path to tread healthy or unhealthy terrain. However we set our minds in this moment will determine where our mind goes next. Compassion is a choice that we can make over and over, and the result will be the gradual development of a compassionate character. This is a worthwhile thing to do. |
