While meditating, and doing the guided meditation that we just did, I have been finding it difficult to associate, and to really feel compassion towards people whom I have never met. I know they exist, and I know sometimes the circumstances they are in are terrible. I was in Myanmar, I saw the devastation in Rangoon before I left. It was terrible. I have contact with a few people there. Those are the ones whom I have compassion with even though they didn't get battered and hurt. When I try to meditate on ten thousand people, a hundred thousand people... I don't know... I get lost. I can only feel like this, and I feel a sense of helplessness, too, I think, with disasters like that.

When the Tsunami occurred I was already in Thailand. I felt not as shocked and surprised as many of the people back home though I see a lot of Compassion for those people's families. Maybe I seem cold to some people because I don't react as they do.
