Compassion is not something that can be worked for. If you try to make 
yourself compassionate you will have too many times that you are not and you will 
feel guilty.

The guilt will ultimately translate itself into anger and hypocrisy.

Compassion is not something can be practiced, it is something that just 
naturally comes for some mysterious reason. And when it is truly there, you do not 
even notice that you are being compassionate. It just occurs.

Relax and live. All things will come in their due time.
