Show Compassion: Dislike Change and Day I

show compassion: The problem is that sometimes I'm so self-absorbed that I miss opportunities to learn from someone else's experience; I remain unaware, according to Hamilton Spectator. New volunteers in social programs often say they didn't realize how difficult people have it, or that there is so much prostitution, violence, and poverty in the streets; they simply weren't aware. Each day I can explore, listen, and understand people who live around me. I believe that awareness helps me become a better person, and that it's a key ingredient for change. The more aware we are of others, the more we accept, engage, show compassion, and build community. Although many of us dislike change, we need to experience it to grow. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
