Compassionated? Please do answer with your heart and not with your pride, and do answer to yourself before me.

Compassion without Passion is a balm for the wounded, but ultimately can't shake things up enough to actually create radical and lasting change.
I think all three of these people were deeply compassionate -- but their passion for tearing down walls of injustice maybe wasn't quite as empowered and awakened as their compassion.
Now Martin Luther King, on the other hand, was equipped with both -- and the results of his work are proof of that. He inspired a revolution in the hearts of a collective group, and in doing so actually pushed human evolution forward.

The sacrifices of Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and Princess Diana has been recorded in history as long as we continue to keep it, we will someday be smart enough to also learn from it.
And yes.. one may argue that everything goes back to square zero after sometime, things do change because our conscience knows what they did even if we don't follow what they preached. It helps us in managing our greed.
I can see many more philanthropist today then I saw 10 years ago. I think thats a good sign.

Mahatma Gandhi did some sacrifices . ok. What has cDiana done?
And as for Mother Teresa--
She got best medical care available for herself whenever she needed but thought prayer was enough for her pateints?
She never denied pain killers to herself. B ut for patien5ts - Pain was taking them near God?
Sorry but I find her too Sadistic and if she would not have a Christian Missonary , instead of Nobel Prize , west would hVave been out to get her. But that is the world. I am yet to know where all that donation money went? for we do not see it spended on Honspitals or medicines.
God save us from such sacifices.

Princess Diana? She was a rich kid who sacrificed nothing but a couple of weekends and never saved one Irish child.
Mother Theresa is probably the only truly good, compassionate person of note in the 20th century.

I'm sorry I do not understand the question at all. I'm not aware of any sacrifices made by Ghandi or Princess Diana. Mother Teresa dedicated her all to help the helpless in the name of Jesus and to glorify God.

And what did these people prove?
To me? that a person can give of themselves in an altruistic way, and worldly ones will exalt them.
Yet what did they truly accomplish?
As Jesus said," let the dead care for the dead".
We still have war.
Hunger.
Disease.
Death.
And billions of humans with no clue as to the grand plan to soon be implemented by God.
What honor is there in that?
In my assessment: They wasted their lives.

I'm not sure if I am understanding your question right, but I believe all of these people were good people and there should be more like them. It is rare to see people actually live there beliefs and help people at the same time, really help I mean. I wish I could be more like them.
