Ipsissima Verba

I haven't found a good description for my blog yet. This is a personal blog where I post links on environmentalism, world finance and events, business education and sustainability-related articles -- with the occasional linguistic wrench thrown in for good measure. The interesting (weird) personal stuff about me is from 2008-back, so if you are my mom and are looking for the pictures, look on the right of the screen to where the years are listed, and then click on 2008. Go backwards from there.

Karuna

Karuna is one of the most beautiful words I have ever heard.

karuna (KUH-roo-na) noun
Loving compassion.
[From Sanskrit karuna (compassion).]

"Once we experience and feel this inter-dependence of all living beings, we will cease to hurt, humiliate, exploit and kill another. We will want to free all sentient beings from suffering. This is karuna, compassion, which in turn gives rise to the responsibility to create happiness and its causes for all." Suresh Jindal; Interdependence of All Living Beings; The Times of India (New Delhi); Nov 13, 2003.
