Read the following passage and answer the questions below it:Compassion is a powerful characteristic that comes straight from the heart. It is something that can be remembered for a life time, and shown in multiple ways, whether it is spontancous compassion, planned compassion or fake-it-till-you-make-it compassion. For instance, a person might offer a neighbor or a lady with groceries a helping hand. A person might be walking down the street and see some people and smile and ask them how their day went. This type of compassion is simple but goes very far. It can be the highlight of somebody's day Another great scenario of this sort of compassion is a girl walking down the halls in school carrying a large number of books in her hands: She accidentally drops all of her books on the ground. As she kneels down to pick up her books in a rush a passerby sees her struggling to get everything together. The person runs over and helps her pick up all of her books, making it less of a burden for her. The person did not plan on acting on kindness. It was just spontaneous. This simple act made a negative situation positive or a bad day a good day. The girl most likely went home feeling thankful that someone helped her pick her books up. The second type of compassion is planned compassion. Planning a farewell party for a colleague, or donating money for a sick or needy person may be an example of this kind of compassion Another good instance of planned compassion is one day a mother receives an unexpected call from her son's school teacher who complains that her son and a couple of other kids had been teasing and calling an innocent young girl names. The mother is very upset with her son's actions as she has been raising her son to be a better person than that. The mother has a talk with her son and asks him how he would feel if someone treated him in the same manner. In this way, she not only deals with him in a compassionate manner but also tries to rectify his manners by instilling compassion in him.
