The concept of suffering is as old as human history. Efforts to reduce and eliminate suffering have been done in various ways. One of them is compassion, which is an effort to reduce and eliminate the suffering of others. The purpose of this study is to describe the manifestations of compassion that are present in daily life and to understand the process of how acts of compassion are born. A qualitative phenomenological approach was chosen using reflections on life experiences of 1066 participants (Men = 392, Women = 674, range of age 12-65 years) who lived in Jakarta, Indonesia. The results of the study revealed that he manifestations of compassion in daily life can be grouped into two major parts, namely tangible compassion and intangible compassion. Tangible compassion consists of financial support, material goods, helping behavior, and involvement in social activities. While intangible compassion consists of emotional support, companion support, informational support, spiritual support, forgiveness, sacrifice & serve, and others. The birth process of compassion begins with a reflection of a personal suffering experience, empathy for the suffering of others, and inspiration from the goodness of others. These three things create concern. Concern allows one to discover the driving and pulling factors of compassion, which after being tested by overcoming challenges and finding opportunities, will be mature for a decision to be compassionate, and give birth to acts of compassion.

The number of Adolescents with HIV in Indonesia in these last 4 years continuously increases. This condition brings new prospect that children who are born with HIV have better life expectancy with its following complexities. One of the biggest challenges is the issue of disclosure status. This study employs action research approach to reveal better alternative patterns of disclosure for revealing HIV status of adolescents. The results of the study show that the disclosure status will be successful if the adolescents and primary caregivers have a high level of readiness both on cognitive, affective, psychomotor, existential-spiritual, and social aspects. When the combination of these is not less than 8, the disclosure process can be predicted to succeed. If it is less than that, it would be better off to prepare all those eight aspects. Authors argue disclosure status is not only determined by who does that, rather adolescents and caregiver must be parallel prepared and ready to disclose. Therefore, it is important to assess readiness before the disclosure status process is carried out.
