- Papi, can I go outside and play?
- There are bad men on the streets...
- Papi, I want to play with my friends!
- Your friends at their home, today is home day Kiki!
- And tomorrow? Is tomorrow home day Papi?

- I hope not, tomorrow is hope day!
Today we hope for a better tomorrow...
- Papi, what is hope? what do we do for a better tomorrow?
- We teach the bad men how to be good...
- Papi, how do we teach bad men how to be good?

- We learn first how we clean our heart of bad things...
- Like when Ben through a rock at the dog?
- Ben through a rock at a dog?
- Yes Papi, and then he cried when the dog did not move...
- Yes Kiki, good that Ben cried!

- Papi, do the bad men cry?
- Don't know... but today all good men cry!

Be compassionate.

Be compassionate.
“The topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is important to know it is human business, it is a question of human survival.”
Dalai Lama

Research now shows that when you are compassionate, you experience a similar feeling of pleasure as when you have sex, good food or a relaxing holiday. Basically, showing compassion is good for your health. Take compassionate action and get the “giver’s high.” Benefits are reduced stress, more regular heart beat and improved immune system.

You can show compassion by understanding the person’s feelings and emotions. That means talking to them and trying to share what they are going through. It is more demanding than a mere act of kindness. If you are compassionate, you are going to get emotionally involved. You also ask what help is needed. You could apply this to:

• A friend who is ill
• Someone who has lost their job
• A relative who has been bereaved
• Someone going through a separation
• A homeless person
