Hello Liara,

I agree, “Compassion also inspires softness, gentleness ..”
When we consider compassion and ruthlessness it seems we are at odds with what we want accomplished, but we always have to look deeper at what is really going on. With ruthless compassion, love is the energy behind it, and that is what is transmitted in the equation.

Thanks for your insights and your kind words!

Deep peace to you!

Hello Nicole,

Another way of saying it is “tough love.” As a mom you know a lot about this one!

Love and blessings!

Hello Mark,

I agree, for everything there is a purpose even if we cannot make sense of it in the moment. With compassion we know that love is always in the picture.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and kind words!

Compassion also inspires softness, gentleness and encourages one to transcend thoughts of ruthlessness. Infinite ways exist to perceive and understand. This is one revelation linked to awakening. In gratitude for your latest sharing. It resonates deeply at soul-level.

Ruthless Compassion is an excellent way of describing ultimate love. I do believe that when we stop enabling loved ones to do things we don’t approve of, that we are ultimately saying “I love you, but I don’t love what you do”.

Thank you!

You have presented a great lesson! Yes, there is ruthless compassion. We must trust in the bigger picture, to understand that all is for purpose. Thanks for sharing this great parable!
