This quote stuck out to me because I think a lot of people forget that intentions don't always match the outcome. Just because you didn't mean to hurt someone doesn't mean you dint hurt them. I've seen situations where someone says something they thought was a joke but ended up really effecting the other person. This line is a reminder that we need to be more aware on how we come across and be willing to own up to it when we mess up, it's not about being perfect, no its about being respectable and showing others that their feelings do matter.

This quote struck me because most of the time, people are focused on themselves without even realizing it, of course it's natural to care about your own problems first, but compassion is about taking a step back and thinking about how someone else might be struggling too. The part about "dethroning ourselves" really stuck with me, it's a reminder that the world doesn't just revolve around us, and sometimes we need to put others first, even a small thing like helping a classmate or checking in on a friend can make a big difference.

I really connect with this because I feel a lot of people forget how important it is to treat others the way you want to be treated, and I always stood on that with the Golden Rule. But it could be easy to get caught up in your own thoughts and feelings, but we don't always stop to think what about someone else might be going through. This quote reminds me that compassion isn't just about being kind when its easy, it's about making the effort to understand people, even when we don't agree with them or when we're in a tough situation.
