COMPASSION FATIGUE while ago perceptive observer commented that great many Americans who are essentially kind and decent folk seem to be suffering from compassion fotiguo Thus now phrase was born into our languagea good and useful phrase and one that opplios to Canadians should think as much as to Americans Compassion fatigue is condition in which your capacity for sympath has been exhausted by overuse On the surface at least thoro seem to be good roasons for compassion fatiguo Almost daily wo are boing asked to help out some worthy and noody causo to como to tho roscuo of tho un fortunate to contribute to research for one disoaso or onothor Woro involvod in the problems of youth the marriage brookdowns of our intimato friends tho Ionolinou of tho oidorly And on though those closetohome problems woront onough wo now are callod upon to help boar the burdens of that moior port of the world that Iivos on tho brink of starvation World probloms in tho TV ago become our own personal problems We try to rospond to so much no wonder wo tiro of being compassionate Someone has identified two symptoms of compassion fatigue The first is tendency to curtail con tributions to worthy causes You find yourself soyin no to people who ask you to give time or money to help others The second is growing roadinoss to accopt any oxplonotion of human misery that implies that the poor and the oppressed have no one to blame but themselves You dont have to worry about the unomployod and tho poor if you can convince yourself that ovoryono on the welfare rolls is deadbeat whos too lazy to work Whats to be done when you find yourself giving in to compassion fatigue Somo poopto say in of fect Ill take holiday from kindness Ill turn out ovorybody olsos troubles and roolly indulgo myself for while But that doesnt work In fact every time you take that route you find it little harder to revive your faculties for compassion until at last you dont even try You build your own little cocoon and stay in it The real answer lies in the New Testament Lovo comos from God says John in his First Epistle And he goes on to say that we are able to Iovo oach othor only bocouso tho Spirit of God acts in us and through us whether we know it or not So compassion fatigue isnt so much matter of our getting tirod as it is matter of failing to lot Gods love into our lives and out again in love for othors Tho well of His compassion novor runs dry Rev Goo James Stroud and Lofroy United Church BAPTIST CHURCHES It you are new to this area and Looking For New Church Home Try Heritage Baptist Church
