What I know and I have learned is we need to have compassion. Compassion makes everything fit in place. It makes a harmony of unity among the people making us one in reaching a peaceful world. The world now is so cruel. Leaders are unfair having two perspective of justice — the justice for the poor and the rich. But the leaders are not the only one who are cruel, the people are finding and screaming for a change but they, themselves, are cruel to each other, cruel to our Mother Nature. They continue to judge others and be ignorant, not respecting the ones who are disabled. We should not be harsh to each other. Disabled people are the ones who are the most able. They are able to do amazing things some people are not expecting them to do. We should instead help them and be nice to them. Compassion helps us to see beyond someone’s or something’s pain. It helps us to understand that everything has a reason and we should just help them ease the pain or at least be there with them through the pain.

Compassion is not and should not be limited to our concern towards each other. Compassion is not only about how we care to our fellow human. Compassion is also about our nature and our country. Our nature needs our care. It needs us to protect and conserve it. Our nature needs our compassion towards her. We should not abuse the things our nature has to offer because at the end, we will be the one suffering the consequences of it. Our motherland also needs our compassion. Every country needs the nationalism of each and every countrymen. It needs us so we can preserve our culture and the Filipino spirit will not be lost. A country needs its people for it to have a purpose. Also, compassion towards one country sparks the pride in terms of national achievements. There many meanings of “wound” that can be takeaway from this. The physical wound or the hidden emotional and mental wound of every people, the wound of our Mother Nature, and the wound of our motherland. If every one of us is compassionate enough, we can heal all of this. We can heal each other. We can heal everything. All we need is for us to see the love in everything. What we need is kindness and faith for humanity.

To summarize it up, the value that I will hold on for everyday throughout my life is compassion. I’ve learned that we should not be ignorant about the things happening to our surroundings. We should be aware, we should understand the situation. That way, we can help the situation get better. There is always kindness in each of us. Let it grow and touch the heart of other people. Let there be a peace in our world. And the key is on ourselves. Let us be compassionate to everyone and everything. We still have hope for a peaceful world.
