Context: How can one be compassionate if you belong to any religion, follow any guru, believe in something, believe in your scriptures, and so on, attached to a conclusion? When you accept your guru, you have come to a conclusion, or when you strongly believe in god or in a saviour, this or that, can there be compassion? You may do social work, help the poor out of pity, out of sympathy, out of charity, but is all that love and compassion?
“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but to be someone.”
As quoted in Contemporary Quotations (1954) by James Beasley Simpson
“How can such scary looking parents create something so cute?”
