About This Quote
Compassion is an important virtue. It shows that you care about other people’s well-being and share their pain. It means you’re not just thinking about yourself. You put other people first.
You want to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. These are the things that compassion brings to the world, and they can make everyone better off.
