Ignorance isn't a shame if you don't know, but remaining ignorant when you do is a lack of empathy. No matter how much you meditate, connect with nature, or take consciousness-expanding substances: without compassion, you will always be incomplete. You will never find out or experience the wonder of your existence.
Yes! Compassion sets the stage & possibillity of experiencing LOVE😀. Compassion is really opposite of ignorance/arrogance/all forms of narcissism. It is basically acknowledgment. And when we offer acceptance instead of judgment,well... then it's time for love revolution.
