Where Does Compassion Come From? [VIDEO]
Amazing things can happen when we pay attention.
Can compassion be learned? According to this sweet new video from Happify the answer is a resounding yes. All it takes is learning to paying attention to the people around us.
Narrated by meditation master Sharon Salzberg, this animated clip tells the story of two friends learning to cultivate compassion for the supermarket clerk they see every week. As they deepen their mindful attention of the people around them, the friends understand "how much of a person we miss when we don't pay attention."
Salzberg sums it all up perfectly, explaining how, as we pay attention to the people around us, our own lives are enriched by an ongoing process of discovery - and this is the gateway to true compassion.
