Indeed!

So  true, compassion is born of understanding, and we do not understand what we have not experienced ourselves, thus we all need to experience all to arrive at the point of total compassion for everything!

That is why we re-incarnate until we understand it all!

Each moment that broke you, made you. All those tears you shed, cleansed your heart of pain. Each broken piece joined together to create a new you. Someone stronger. Someone more powerful and fierce. So no, I can’t give you a reason why you went through so much pain, but I can tell you the purpose. The purpose was always for you to grow, change, heal and become the best version of yourself. The purpose was for you to become the person that you are today, and that itself should keep you going. That itself should be reason for you to rise once more.

Not every comment deserves a reply.
Not every opinion needs your explanation.
Some people are committed to misunderstanding, and responding only pulls you into their chaos.
Peace is built through boundaries.
Choosing when to speak and when to walk away protects your mental and emotional well-being.
Distance is sometimes the healthiest response.
When you stop reacting to negativity, you reclaim your focus, your time, and your calm.
And with that calm, life becomes lighter, clearer, and far more peaceful.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent, when they are not.

Life is not an easy event, yet we must live it no matter what, that is what we are here for, but little by little we become familiar with it until we learn a lot!

Something had to give.
Effort wasn’t being reciprocated.
Energy was not being matched.
I grew tired of breadcrumbs.
Empty promises.
Words with no meaning.
So, I changed.
I opened my eyes.
I changed my ways.
I started seeing things for what they were,
not what I hoped they would become.
I walked away.
And I never looked back.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
