One can hurt emotions, but not compassion. Hurt is the product of the self-centeredness. If there is no self-centre then there will be no hurt. Emotions and passion go together. Passion will lie for the self-gain, but not compassion. Compassion represents universal love, but passion represents self-love. In the zone of compassion there is no self, so the flow of affection will be precise.
Compassion emerges from universe-centric behaviour pattern. Compassion always focuses on others happiness. In contrast, passion and emotion worries only about the self. Where there is emotion there will be frustration, anxiety, loneliness, envy, egoism, etc., because emotion cannot disconnect itself from the past. So, for emotional people enjoying the totality of life is a mirage. In contrast, compassion will be above all these confusions of the self. Emotions are the slaves of human finite calculations, so they are confused in themselves. Emotion will always project itself as the highest good to compensate its inner crisis. Emotions propagate themselves with the help of the clever and calculative behaviour pattern. On the contrary, compassion is a spontaneous outcome of the dedicated universal concern. A person with compassion will never think twice to sacrifice anything, even the physical body, for the betterment of others, whereas, emotions will never sacrifice the physical body or any of its desires. So, in every turning point of life emotions will always witness pain, suffering, energy depletion and so on, but compassion is another name for the infinite bliss of life.

Knowingly or unknowingly that direction designs our live and we become secondary. This is the basic network where the entire humanity is caught with all the invisible movements of the unseen radioactivity
