Extension of compassion and kindness

Compassion and kindness should be extended to everyone and not just the whom we love, not just the one who are less fortunate but also all sort of level of society in this work for example prisoner or the person who have hurt you. In every human being there is a good and kindness in them but most of them time we do not see it as we were blind by hatred and anger.

I came across a Buddhist talk and a poem once written by the world most villain person and his poem goes like this......


The Mother 

“When your mother has grown older,
When her dear, faithful eyes
no longer see life as they once did,
When her feet, grown tired,
No longer want to carry her as she walks -
Then lend her your arm in support,
Escort her with happy pleasure.
The hour will come when, weeping, you
Must accompany her on her final walk.
And if she asks you something,
Then give her an answer.
And if she asks again, then speak!
And if she asks yet again, respond to her,
Not impatiently, but with gentle calm.
And if she cannot understand you properly
Explain all to her happily.
The hour will come, the bitter hour,
When her mouth asks for nothing more.”

Adolf Hitler, 1923.
