“Whenever we are faced with a situation that cries out for something compassionate to be done, we will always be most effective if we allow our head and our heart to work together. That’s because our emotions, those powerful expressions of our humanity and our spirituality, are most powerful when they are directed by intelligent thought. In almost every case, what we should be dealing with is not so much the suffering itself, as much as the root cause of the suffering. That may not sound at first like the most compassionate solution, but if our actions end the suffering, that’s far better than a more surface solution.”
