Morning Verse

With the wish
to help all beings,
may all my thoughts,
words, and actions
be void of
attachment and ego.
May they arise from
compassion and wisdom.
May they be imbued
with patience and joy.

The first thing to remember is that compassion can cause no pain. The compassion that Buddha taught does not cause hurt and has no power to cause pain. If it hurts or causes painful feelings we would not call it compassion.
