Anger strong kid, love - is boundless, and compassion, he was crying and hungry for help.It is not known why people are able to experience the sensations that are inaccessible to animals.Conventional instincts of other representatives of the animal world can not be compared with love, hate, jealousy, self-pity.Perhaps all these manifestations of "humanity" - is a great gift, or the voice of our soul.Compassion in this case - this is one of the strongest tunes of spiritual songs in our hearts.
Compassion - what is it?
try to describe what it is like this feeling.When we see the pain of a friend or stranger in us this spectacle responds voice of compassion.This is expressed in the desire to help, sympathize, console kind word or deed.Compassion - not exactly a pleasant feeling, since without experiencing any physical or mental effects from the external environment, we nevertheless suffer.On the other hand, it admits feeling very virtuous for the spiritual development of man.
