Many times compassion is a lot like forgiveness in that even if we seem to be giving it away mostly we benefit immensely from letting "it" go. If HD is to have compassion for his wife it does him just as much good if not more.
Absolutely. Abso-friggin-lutely. Well said.
And btw, when I was married, I absolutely SUCKED at compassion. It wasn't until I started healing my own hurts that compassion for others began to creep in. I was just too wrapped up in my own pain.
