Emotion

Compassion

The capacity to feel the suffering of others and be moved to relieve it.

The ability to understand and share the feelings of another, crossing the boundary between self and other.

The recognition and appreciation of what has been given, earned, or inherited — and the impulse to honor it.

The orientation toward a future good that is difficult but possible, sustained by trust and effort.

A deep and sustaining gladness that arises from connection, meaning, and the full engagement with life.
