Human attention

You might be completely unaware of what’s going on around you, totally blind to people’s needs. Or you might observe those needs but fail to give them your attention. When awareness develops into attention, and attention is always personal, then you move from a kind of basic animal awareness into human attention in which we experience compassion and so know the source of compassion.
