		<description><![CDATA[We give lip service to compassion. It is a lofty ideal that, more often than not, we use to calm ourselves when we are pissed off at someone else.

		<description><![CDATA[If you are anything like me, you underestimate how dark it can get. You are craving the light like a fashion junky craves new Jimmy Choo's because you are certain that it can't possibly get any darker than this moment. You are wrong. Invariably we are wrong. We underestimate how much darkness we can withstand. We cannot quantify how much darkness we can swallow whole.

		<description><![CDATA[I have been called a soft touch more than once. I cannot bear to see harrowed anguish on somebody face, let alone hear it in their voice or cry. Watching someone bleed or writhe in pain draws a physical reaction from me. I cannot help but do something, even if that something is pray. I [...]]]></description>

The choices we are forced to make are harder; How far are you willing to go for family? How many times can you turn the other cheek? How [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am in a habit of letting go, of forgiving. I am slow to anger and almost always &#8216;talk  it out&#8217; with the other when I feel wronged. I even (much to my partner&#8217;s frustration) sit down and have that same frank discussion when I feel someone else is upset with me. I have a [...]]]></description>
