A lesson in compassion, learned hard

CBS Mornings lead national correspondent David Begnaud explores the importance of compassion with a visit to Davis, California. In that town is a gathering place known as the compassion bench. David Breaux often sat there and dedicated his life to studying and talking about compassion. This spring, Breaux's life ended violently - less than 50 yards from that bench. Begnaud shows how every random act of violence can change the lives not only of the victims and their loved ones, but of an entire community, and how the people of Davis are carrying on Breaux's legacy with compassion.

Thank you, David Begnaud, for presenting this pure and beautiful story of a generous, self-less life. I believe that some of the best "Life Lessons" are the ones demonstrated through example. The Ministry of Jesus Christ while on earth was one of loving compassion, listening, sharing, helping, healing, forgiving. David Breaux, your labor of love is not in vain. Truly, an angel was among us. Rest now from your labor in God's Eternal Peace. 😇🕊🌿🙏🤍

There are many who have pity, but no compassion. Compassion is an active word, as is love. This was a man with a deep understanding of these meanings. His teachings live on. His life was, and is still, a blessing.

David was so moving to me watching this and brought me to tesrs. I wish I had the privilege and honor to meet him. I hope this story would furthermore move Stanford University to posthumous bless him with a Doctoral Degree so we can remember him as "Doctor David Begnaud". In my opinion, he earned this for his many years of exploring and documenting his passion. It would be priceless if a publisher could gather his journals and publish them for everyone to read and study. Educators could provide courses for both Secondary Schools and Colleges in health sciences related to his life-long studies. In these trying and difficult times, we all need this sooner than later to better mankind. 🙏🎓🕊

Hey that was my neighbor at the trailer park in Davis he watched us smoke weed and drink would see cops chasing us and he would open his door and hide us from cops and he eventually said we could use his back yard anytime as long as we cleaned up and didnt fight or cause in his own words chaos

If more people were like this man, more people would meet the same fate. We don't have compassion for cancer. We eliminate it. People are worse. At least cancer doesn't spread from person to person. Compassion is well and good when it is tempered by rationality.

So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help. Compassion can only be shown by the righteous not the unrighteous.
