Gautama BuddhaPity arises when we are sorry for someone.Compassion is when we understand and help wisely.
Gautama BuddhaTo be selfish, greedy and unwilling to help the needy gives rise to future starvation and clothlessness.
Gautama BuddhaThe mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy.
Gautama Buddha
