Day Four of Week 3: Netzach of Tiferet

18th Day of the Omer

Is my compassion enduring and consistent? Is it reliable or whimsical? Does it prevail among other forces in my life? Do I have the capacity to be compassionate even when I’m busy with other activities or only when it's comfortable for me? Am I ready to stand up and fight for another?

Exercise for the day: In middle of the busy day take a moment and call someone that needs a compassionate word. Defend someone who is in need of sympathy even if it's not a popular position.

Making a call during a busy day

Of course most of us do it, but according to a strict approach based on Mesilat Yasharim (and maybe other Jewish ethical teachings), making a personal (albeit compasssionate) call during a business day would be considered stealing from the employer. Please comment.
