"As a learning catalyst for Compassion, I wish to share this with the participants.  I have looked through many dictionaries and felt that the Webster Dictionary reflected the meaning of compassion best -  'aroused by the distress of others with the desire to help them'.  Hence this can only be done well with unconditional acceptance and respect." - Dr Carol Balhetchet
