Compassion and Godââ¬â¢s Self-Revelation
lenience is a compound word, formed by putting up the words co and passion together, which literally means together and heavy spirit, respectively. As such, the word pity literally human beingss having a strong feeling about the other. It whitethorn be considered feeling a strong feeling over the predicaments of others, feeling for their pain, or their loss. It may also call for plant that may eliminate or at least decrease the pain.Compassion is mostly manifested by acts of configurationness like sharing, giving comfort or consolation, and extending sympathy and genuine concern (Dhammika). Compassion may be considered as the best thing one can extend to some other psyche as all its manifestations are the best in human beings. It leads to the demo of aspects of man that may be considered as Gods likeness. As such, it may be considered as a way for Gods self-revelation to his people (Dhammika).Different to Gods self revelation to Moses during the patriarchal days, wher e the Israelites were committing idolatry while Moses was talking to God at Mt. Sinai, Gods modern day self revelation may not lead on the spiritual low points in mankinds history. It may actually happen when mans spirituality is at its uncomparable high (Laney 37). As compassion leads to actions that are based on the teachings of savior and other prophets of Gods, it may then be considered as the manifestations of the universe of God.An existence that is although different from the great burning bush in the time of Moses, exempt brings warmth to the hearts of his people especially to those who badly needs them (Laney 37). In addition, since compassion brings all the kindness of humanity and as man is told to be created from Gods likeness, then it may prove that through compassion extended by an individual to another man shows, ultimately, he may be showing that facet of humanity that is that of Gods as well.This may be Gods self-revelation through his own people towards some o f his people who may not yet be believers of his existence. Therefore, it may be concluded that compassion or that strong feeling towards anothers suffering leads to acts that are considered righteous even by other religions. It may show mans true nature. As he was created from Gods likeness and God is considered to be the kindest God, then man must show Gods existence through his kind acts. As such, God uses his peoples compassion as a key to his self-revelation.
