Compassion starts with Loving-Kindness for...

 
 
The basic ground of compassionate action is the importance of working with rather than struggling against, and what I mean by that is working with your own unwanted, unacceptable stuff, so that when the unacceptable and unwanted appears out there, you relate to it based on having worked with Loving-Kindness for yourself. Then there is no condescension.
