compassion
and that's a really tough word in today's world.
(painting at the Mosaics exhibition I visited and talked about in this blogpost)
And that's because no matter what is happening in our world today some people find it so dfficult to showcompassion
to other people.
I just want to remind them that what is happening to our neighbour today might happen to us tomorrow.
What is happening to another country today might happen to our country tomorrow.
(Demetra Xenaki- Deisis, Myro Gallery)
Health problems,poverty, financial problems, violence, criminality, terrorism, war happen all around us.
If we are not victims of these situations today we don't know if we will be victims tomorrow. And that's how life is. It cannot be good for ever.
Remember that when you suffer you need help and you look around you for that help.
It cannot always come from a friend or relative. One day a total stranger might help you.
And that's why we should all show
compassion
not only to our relatives and friends but to people we don't even know either. Because life is a cycle and you are sometimes going up and sometimes going down.
Here I would like to thank my friends and my colleagues at school who once again supported our decision to help the Syrian family by bringing blankets, clothes and other things to cover their needs.
This blogpost is filled with photos I took from various Art Gallery visits recently.

The art exhbition at Ro Art Gallery is by various artists based on the book "Because of the crisis I give you my child" by Aigli Brouskou.
You could read a very interesting article on Refugees and compassion on Reality and Fiction blog by my friend Ruth Ludlam who explains it so well and I thank her for that.

There are only 3 things essential for life; kindness, kindness and kindness. And now compassion!

Your post truly touched my heart in words and imagery. There is so much devastation in this world these days, that I fear for my two girls' future. As you eluded in your post, I may not be there tomorrow, so I hope someone is there to help them when in need. I also pray that they'll be able to continue to show compassion for others as I have taught them. Blessings, my friend!
