"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion" - Delai Lama
Remembering . . . 
After Dr. Joan passed away last September we decided to start a Relay for Life Team. We miss her dearly. We remember her now by taking action to candlelariahelp promote "Relay for Life". This is our commitment now.
We love you Joan.
COMPASSION
Compassion (from Latin: "co-suffering") is a virtue -one in which the emotional capacities of empathy and sympathy (for the suffering of others) are regarded as a cornerstone of greater social interconnectedness and humanism -equivalent to the highest principles in philosophy, society, and personhood.There is an aspect of compassion which regards a quantitative dimension, such that individual's compassion is often given a property of "depth," "vigour," or "passion." More vigorous than empathy, the feeling commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another's suffering. It is often, though not inevitably, the key component in what manifests in the social context as altruism. In ethical terms, the various expressions down the ages of the so-called Golden Rule Do to others what you would have them do to you.
