Never Compare Your Suffering

On retreat a few days ago the retreat leader spoke of compassion as a simple life-stance that has world-altering consequences. He talked about suffering as a context for compassion. I thought this sentence was worth remembering:

Never compare your suffering to someone else's suffering . . . because we each have about all the suffering we can handle.
