ahimsa - the Hindu and Buddhist doctrine of refraining from harming any living being
ruthful - 1. full of ruth : tender 2. full of sorrow : woeful 3. causing sorrow
ruth - 1. compassion for the misery of another 2. sorrow for one's own faults : remorse
It wasn't until I was prompted by the first definition of ruthful to look up ruth that the relationship between ruthless and ruthful became evident to me. They're kind of apropos companions for today's WOTD: ahimsa.
