Day Six of Week 3: Yesod of Tiferet

20th Day of the Omer

For compassion to be fully realized, it needs bonding. It requires creating a channel between giver and receiver. A mutuality that extends beyond the moment of need. A bond that continues to live on. That is the most gratifying result of true compassion. Do you bond with the one you have compassion for, or do you remain apart? Does your interaction achieve anything beyond a single act of sympathy?

Exercise for the day: Ensure that something eternal is built as a result of your compassion.

still - how?
How do you bond with the person? what about the person should you focus on in order to help you bond with them?

How!
Dear NJ friend,
You stated the answer in your question.
Bond with the human being not their circumstances.
If you can't relate to or bond with the suffering, that's fine. Hopefully the pain will pass . Keep your focus on the person, not the pain.
May G-d quickly heal the wounds of all His children. Amen!

how?
Sometimes, it's too hard to really bond with a person that you're helping because the person is in so much pain that if you would really focus on their pain, it would be too unbearable. Any suggestions?
