Compassion has its limits, right?

I recently came across this powerful daily reminder from Thich Nhat Hanh:

Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment
and to look at all beings with the eyes of compassion.

I felt genuinely inspired when I first read this but I also had an almost uncontrollable urge to add an asterisk alongside the words “all beings” and create a long list below. You know what I mean?
