Compassion (ci bei) transcend beyond human love or kindness. When there is emotions, there is attachments. When there is no emotions, then, it is wu wei, or no attachments. Above that, it will be compassion.
Kindness or compassion does not comes overnight.
It has to be cultivated. Example, if today, you are ask to let go all your self-interest, desires and attachments, you may have all the will in the world to say you can do it, but in reality, you cannot. Why, it has to be cultivated away, or gradually let go.
For example, if you are the impatient type, you cannot become patient overnight. First, you must have the will to change. Then, during your daily life, you are tested. Then, if your will power is strong, it is gradually gone. Then you will become patient gradually.
