Compassion

I help people as much as I can, even if it means it will set me back personally. Unfortunately, the majority of people only help when they have something to spare. Even though they help, they only do so if it doesn't affect them in any way.  That is charity, but it's not compassion. Compassion is when you give even when you don't have much yourself, you give even when you can't actually spare it. And then there are people who rather just close their eyes and pretend then know nothing.
