Courage and Compassion

Courage and compassion, Noblest virtues of humanity. Courage to face everyday, No matter the pain. Compassion for those Whom endure the same. In these days, Only the most compassionate Have the courage To change the world. In these times, Seems only the courageous Are the most compassionate. But you as well have it in you, To wield this sword and shield. For with courage and compassion, You, too, have the power to change the world. Courage and compassion, Though so few live up to these virtues, Trust in due time, soon, The courageously compassionate Will rise together in multitudes. In these days, Many are learning from the consequences Of cowardly contempt. In these times, All we can do for now, Is hope for more Of the courageously compassionate To awaken and revolutionize the world.

'Fearless Compassion' is the byword of Maitreya, in Buddhism, 'the coming Buddha'. In the Bible, it says, 'perfect love casteth out fear'. Regardless, yes, you're right! We all have to do something, and it begins in each heart with compassion.
