To live in a state of compassion, means you approch the world with your emotional barriers lowered and your ability to connect with others intact.
We do not all walk around with our heart wide open all the time, however doing so would leave us overwhelmed and in emotional danger.
Sometimes it is necessary to keep your emotional barriers up as a way to protect yourself.
The key to learn the lesson of compassion is realizing that you are in control of the erection or destruction of those barriers that create distance between you and others.
You can choose to dissolve those barriers when you want to, connect with the heart of other human being.
You also can choose to limit other's access to your heart when you need to, by forming judgments that separate you from that which you are judging.
