Compassion...

His Holiness the DalaiLama:

My mother first gave me the gift of a woman's compassion. Now, the next generation of women must bring this compassion into positions of power.

I call on the next generation of young women to be the mothers of the Compassionate Revolution that this century so desperately needs. You have a special role to play in creating a better world. It is often thought that women are more empathic and sensitive, and more receptive to the feelings of others. These are qualities that are embodied by mothers. In this sense, women are models of humanity.

Study history, and you will see that throughout every era, across all the continents, it is men who have been responsible for carnage and destruction. They have been celebrated as heroes when they should have been criticized as wrongdoers.
