But we can also have compassion for our own pain. This doesn’t mean wallowing (that would be the second arrow again) but simply recognizing that there is a part of us that is in pain, and giving it our kindly and loving attention.

"BLOOBITY-BLOOBITY-BLOOOOOO!"

"Sometimes men & women & children & families & doctors love 2 think that everyone should enjoy their own YESTER-KLOINKS of life."

"YEDDLING-RORK. YEDDLING-RORK. YEDDLING-YEDDLING-YEDDLING-RORK."

"YIBBER-YIBBER-YOOP. YIBBER-YIBBER-YOOP. YIBBER-YIBBER-YIBBER-YIBBER-YIBBER-YIBBER-YOOP."

"BIB-BOB-BOO. BIB-BOB-BOO. BIB-BOB-BIB-BOB-BIB-BOB-BOO."

"Once upon a time, a man tried 2 enjoy ALL the regular episodes of life!"

"Sometimes men & women & children & families & doctors love 2 irritate me with their BIG, sharp, shiny knives!!"

"DOODY-DOODY-DOO-DOO-DOOT-DOOT-DEE-DOO-DOO." -> to the tune of Tubular Bells!

"Sometimes I think that I might like 2 believe in the importance of the blood!"

We may say, and even half-believe, that compassion is marvelous, but in practice our actions are deeply uncompassionate and bring us and others mostly frustration and distress, and not the happiness we are all seeking.

Down 24-0 at half-time - the biggest ever defecit! ... plenty of injuries this season ... 0-24 becomes 31-24!!! ... then 31-31 and overtime ... more injuries ... then a HUGE break on a punt - a turnover and they win it!
