Compassion Quote by Robin Sacredfire
““Do not assume that you know what love is, until you learn what respect is. And do not assume that you’re a good person, if you don’t know what is empathy. Until you can love yourself, and feel compassion for the suffering of another person, you will not be able to love anyone. You can feel love but you can’t love. To feel and to do is not the same. You can choose to feel love and share hate, or feel love and share compassion. Same feeling, different behavior.””
