Compassion - do I have enough? 3

Instead of furiously growling at my neighbor, I can see the reason for her action, and fully understand the reason for her behavior. I can also see that until recently, she too enjoyed feeding some species of birds in our yards. I can see that she does not view the pigeons as equal beings to herself, but as pestlike nuisances. This leads me to be able to feel compassion for both the disturbed pigeons and my unaware neighbor.

My own understanding of the situation prevents me from making things worse, but I wonder if I have enough compassion. If I did, surely I would also know how to make things better, too?

I would LIKE there to be peace for us all, both for my neighbor and the pigeons. Creating harmony between the different aspects of one's life is not my problem alone. Many people come across various areas of their life that do not mix well with others. For example, the son and the friend may disagree, or the pet cat and the MIL… Many people seem to have a similar problem, to some degree.
