The first step in experiencing compassion is to dissolve the boundaries between yourself and the rest of existence. One must be willing to accept that each living creature upon this earth plays an equally substantial role in your existence, the existence of all of us living is based on the vast connections we make with each other and our environment. We must live in the minds of all around us as much as we live within our own, we must take all views into account and honor these in the same way we might honor and argue our own perspectives. It is through becoming a part of this vast network that we may experience true compassion. Once we become apart of this network we may further alienate ourselves from one another and the world itself, intensifying conflict and furthering the degradation of cultures, our environment and connections between one another. On the contrary, if we experience compassion and plug ourselves into this global network, we may strengthen our bonds with each other and the planet, further realizing our hopes for a peaceful coexistence.
