"Real compassion kicks butt and takes names,
and it is not pleasant on certain days.
If you are not ready for this fire,
then find a new-age, sweetness-and-light,
soft-speaking, perpetually smiling teacher,
and learn to relabel your ego with spiritual sounding terms.
But stay away from those that practice real compassion,
because they will fry your ass, my friend."
~ Ken Wilbur

These lyrics have helped me through the worst of times...

That Old Wheel
By Johnny Cash and Hank Williams

That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does, it will even up the score
Don't be weak, as they sow, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don't give in
That old wheel will roll around again

When love is gone and the one you thought would stay
Does you wrong, and you're left alone to pay
The price is high
But somehow you'll survive, don't give in
That old wheel will roll around again

That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does, it will even up the score
Don't be weak, as they sow, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don't give in
That old wheel will roll around again

There'll be times, hard to control
And you'll find, you'll hurt down in your soul
There'll be those, who'll be glad to see you down
But don't give in, that old wheel will roll around again

That old wheel (that old wheel), it's gonna roll around once more
When it does (and when it does), it's gonna even up the score
Don't be weak, as they sow, they will reap (right)
Turn the other cheek and don't give in
That old wheel will roll around again

That old wheel (well, that old wheel), is gonna roll around once more
When it does (when it does), it will even up the score
Don't be weak, (don't be weak), as they sow, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don't give in (don't give in)
That old wheel will roll around again
