Session 15 : Broadening Compassion

MODULE ACTIVITIES

A. ESSAY WRITING. Answer the following questions truthfully.

1. Tell a personal experience in which you think you showed compassion for yourself.

ANSWER:

When one time I feel like I'm different from others, that I'm not that normal person that can do normal
things in life, It is a struggle for me because no one seeing that I'm Dying with my own toxic, and I can't find
anyone to help me on that situation. After that incident, I find myself asking why should I treat myself like
that? This is me, this is what God gives to me, I'm too shy to show up on other people when we are
meeting up, why should I experience it?. I can't contain myself thinking of my imperfections and not
knowing I'm drowning little by little. Have a mercy self! Don't be like that!

2. Do you always feel compassionate for others? In what ways?

ANSWER:
Yes, By seeing them being down and they don't know what to do next to solve their problems. I want to
help them but I can't, the only thing that I can do is to comfort them as their mostly problem is more in
Family and Personal. Sometimes they skip their meals and they did not take classes. They don't care about
themself anymore and that makes my heart melt as their friend.

3. Share one instance which you think you failed to show compassion to your brethren. What did

you do? What do you plan to do to correct that mistake?

ANSWER: When one time a brother of mine has a problem and that problem is probably is personal as is.
Then when that time, it happens that they are misunderstanding between us so there is an anger that
flaming over my head and I can feel that compassion that I expect will occur. As he is crying and crying, I
decided to bring down my pride and fix what is our problem. Then I confront him that he will never be alone
fighting, He also and always have me as a friend, as a brother, and as a Family for him.

B. PICTURE ANALYSIS. What can you do to help these people around you?

I will give them some food that is ready to eat, Yes

we are also suffering in food sometimes but on the

other hand, they need help although it’s not

financial, that is a big help to them, Giving them

clothes that cannot fit in anymore to me and to my

parents can also a big help. Also unused blankets

and pillows may help to give them a slight

comfortable resting area.

We can see this children spreads among churches

and markets just to sell their tindang “ Sampaguita

“ Maybe I will buy some of what she is selling and

give her some food that is available on current

situation. And if she is staying on that place for

long, maybe I will give her a simple gift this coming

Christmas.

Seeing this kind of people that are unfortunate in

life but keeping the vibes of being positive is such

a motivation to as normal people. Cheering them

up not to give up and Giving them sometimes

when you have is a simple way of how we can help

them. Though I may not have the money to give

them what they need, I have the courage to help

them pass through out on their condition.

They are special as anyone, I will treat them like

my little brother and give them what they need

according to what is available. Special care for this

Special human beings, Giving them a little bit

positivity in life may help them on their condition.

Also as they want special attention, much longer

time needed in caring them. I will protect him on

those people who’s treating them like on the other

world, will give them the lesson that they are also

humans that have feelings.

As they commit a crime because it’s look like they

are in the prison, They are still human and they

deserve to treat them as a human also. As I’m on

the legal age, but my parents did not allow me to

go on this place, maybe I can help on some ways

like giving the mold clothes and things that they

might need inside the prison, It my be a big help to

them and a relief as they get their daily needs that

they may used inside.

CLOSURE

Journal Writing: To be compassionate means…

It is more than to simply feel compassion or show concern. It is more than essentially telling somebody
that you give it a second thought. It is to tell somebody that you give it a second thought, yet additionally to
show them that you care by being there before they even request it. Sympathy is a perplexing, delightful
marvel that permits us to compassionately identify with another individual and offer help for them in the
manner in which we can.

As far as I might be concerned, sympathy and compassion go connected at the hip. I challenge myself to
be caring every single day, regardless of whether in my understudy influential positions, at my school
environment, or in my day by day cooperations with others. Empathy begins with the arrangement that
everybody you meet is facing their conflict of which you know nothing. That outlook makes it simple to treat
others with adoration, sympathy, compassion, and comprehension. We are for the most part people
confronting extraordinary challenges, and when you understand that, sympathy turns out to be simple.
