Is Compassion the Antidote to Aversion?

When we want to push someone or something harmful or undesired away, our feeling of aversion usually erupts in anger, hatred, fear, or rejection. Yet in Buddhism, aversion itself is a cause of human suffering. Its opposite is the practice of loving-kindness. As we cultivate compassion this month, let’s explore what orientation toward our current realities can give us the most oomph for healthy, effective resistance.
