“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
- Chinese Proverb, 4th Century B.C.
Whilst compassion is an innate part of being human, it is not always easy to access, acknowledge or show in our modern lives. As one of our more evolved traits, compassion often finds itself side-lined in favour of older, less-evolved behaviours and processes.
As we come to a close on this programme looking at compassionate mindfulness, it is worth acknowledging why we may have difficulties when trying to access and practise compassion. We have to remember that being human is very difficult and many of the older traits of our species, when expressed by our new brain, can be increadibly destructive. Yet at the same time, when we express more evolved processes like compassion through our new brain, we also have the potential to be amazing.
