Thank you Aloka,

As I told Element, I did some more research on compassion today and noted the relationship between compassion and loving kindness. I wasnt too sure about that either. I can see how loving kindness would be useful for everyday but alongside compassion. The trick is I think is to spot which is most appropriate at the time, requiring being mindful of what's going on in people's lives.

ps I do love the word Metta - it has a nice sound to it.
