How admirable do you find his compassion?

Post by Maddie Atkinson »

I found that the love he held for his wife is something that I look up to when thinking about my girlfriend. His love and compassion is something that drives him, which I find extraordinarily admirable. How admirable and inspirational do you find him, especially his compassion? Do you find him as someone to look up to and take inspiration from in your own life?

I think his wife is a lucky woman! I also think that everyone who is married should love their companions with such compassion. Sadly, such a love is very rare. And I really do find it admirable and inspiring. To my opinion, it was one of the best things one can learn from this book.

I agree! I only hope I can give my girlfriend everything good that she deserves in the way he has with his wife. It is so admirable!

Not only was the love and compassion for his wife admirable. But his compassion extended to all the people with whom he came in contact. In just about everything he did (that he recounted) he had his fellow countrymen in mind. Nothing that he did seemed to be out of purely egotistical motives. He was always trying to help others, which shows a great deal of compassion.

I found the author's compassion very inspiring. It's so rare to see someone who loves someone else with such altruism like this, I wish more people would love like that. Besides that, he lived an amazing life and took part in so many important historical events, even when those events didn't give him power, money, or anything like that. It's very altruistic, in my opinion.

The way he talks so kindly about his wife when she leaves the room is admirable. He must truly mean what he says if he speaks so highly of her when she isn't even there to hear it. It would be wonderful to be married to a man that thought so highly of his wife.

Indeed. Some people love and don't know the right way to treat those they love. It is truly admirable to be able to show love and compassion in the way Dr Berrah does to his wife. It shows he is in a good place himself and it is inspiring.

I have no doubt that he's an inspiration to me, and will be to most men. Because his love wasn't just for his wife alone, his love rubbed on everyone that comes in contact with him. I'm impressed by that gesture.

The compassion he had for his wife is very admirable. If marriages had this the divorce rate would reduce drastically.

The compassion he had for his wife is admirable. If everyone learned to treat their significant others similarly, I believe divorce rates will drop significantly.

His love towards his wife and tye respect that he had towards all women is something admirable. But what is inspirational for me the most is loving your job. As a diplomat he had no easy tasks. But he did all that with love and passion. For him, it was not a mere job but he kept his faith on world peace and put all the effort to make that a success

I'm definitely inspired by his compassion. A great percentage of marriages are based on tolerance and little or no compassion, but his compassion towards his wife was 100% genuine and something I'll love to have for someone.

I think that his compassion was a significant driving force that helped guide his life. I definitely find it inspiring. We should all strive to be compassionate towards our partners, families, friends, and those who we enounter. I believe that a significant part of his success in his diplomatic career came from his compassionate nature.

I love the demonstration of his compassion, my husband loves me as much and I find it so easy to relate with, in fact I got mushy at some point.
Every marriage, partner, spouse deserves such kind of inspiring compassion, such is the nature of Christ Jesus.

The Dr did indeed build the mutual relationship of respect and love with his wife over a lifetime of daily action in word and deed,more often than not it is the seemingly negligible repeated with the utmost of care,that brings about the final result,perhaps.Admirable,courageous and selfless!
