Love is the key factor that builds the foundation for compassion. First, we must know what love is. For if we do not know love, how could we love another? Once we develop love within ourselves we realize the goodness it creates and the wonderful satisfaction it produces. We all desire love. Expressing it fills a void for the receiver and giver. We must work at becoming tolerant and understanding to those who are different or towards those we dislike and realize that we are all individuals, each with a special uniqueness. Some may not be open to your expression of love. That is okay because others will learn from your actions.
