"Compassion is not a bending toward the underprivileged from a
privileged position; it is not reaching out from on high to those who
are less fortunate below; it is not a gesture of sympathy or pity for
those who fail to make it in the upward pull. On the contrary compassion
means going directly to those people and places where suffering is most
acute and building a home there,"
~Henri Nouwen
And that's what Jesus did.
