Is being kind the only hallmark of compassion? Can hard truths be compassionate? I think compassion is being kind and truthful. What is not compassionate is witholding truth from other-selves at the worry of offending them. Often we learn from offense. Especially when it is delivered in a loving and kind manner. Constructive criticism as it were called.
I think the world is in the somewhat sore state it is in because people think being compassionate is just about being kind and not risking upsetting others. The problem is that when you withhold the truth from others, you are partaking in a lie. You have the discrimination and judgement of your truth that is worth sharing. If it offends, so be it. Of course try to do it in the kindest way possible. But maybe that is what the other-self needed… some honest and open feedback that will be helpful catalyst in their journey.

Ra: The entity which is given constant and unremitting approval by those surrounding it suffers from the loss of the mirroring effect of those which reflect truthfully rather than unquestioningly. This is not a suggestion to reinstate judgment but merely a suggestion for all those supporting instruments; that is, support, be harmonious, share in love, joy, and thanksgiving, but find love within truth, for each instrument benefits from this support more than from the total admiration which overcomes discrimination.
80.15: Ra:
Even the most unhappy of experiences, shall we say, which seem to occur in the Catalyst of the adept, seen from the viewpoint of the spirit, may, with the discrimination possible in shadow, be worked with until light equaling the light of brightest noon descends upon the adept and positive or service-to-others illumination has occurred.
