Recommended: Conclusion on emotion and decision making

I researched many different aspects of compassion from sources such as TED Talks and The ProQOL Manual from Goggle Scholar. Ideas that I have got from those two sources sources confirmed and extended my belief about compassion. They also gave me more new, unique ideas to think about as they gave new perspective. I first like to extend what I said about my view in human condition proposal as when Joan Halifax talks about compassion and true meaning for empathy in Ted Talks; her idea and my idea had many similarities despite our different life experiences. Joan Halifax talked about how compassion was fierce, wrathful, tender, and wise as she regard many people she used as examples highly throughout her talks when she talked about how their eyes and hands hold the “strength that arises when natural compassion is really present”. I do agree to what she said as the main female protagonist from the book called, “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (manga)” was …show more content…

Nausicaä was fierce when she firmly believed in the value of life regardless of its form no matter what. It may seems to some people …show more content…

Joan Halifax mentioned many things about Buddhism such as when she mentioned Dalai Lama, who is consider being the successor of Tulkus who are believed to be incarnations of Avalokitesvara the Bodhisattva of Compassion as he said, “Love and compassion are necessities. They are not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” This is certainly true as the I agree that as the world Nausicaä live in couldn’t survived without her love and compassion. Joan Halifax also mentioned Mahabharata Indian poem which said, “What is the most wondrous thing in the world,

    In our world, I see many people that lack the ability to show compassion. They can be so selfish when they should be more selfless. Even I admit it, I am selfish sometimes and don't help others when they may need it. For this reason, I believe that compassion should be a human right. Many people will see a person or an animal in distress and think, “I don't need to help them; some other generous person will.” But in most cases, nobody ends up helping the distressed person or animal because every person thinks “it’s not their job to help” or “somebody else will do it.” I believe a right of compassion will make it human nature to help others without second

    Stewardship. The principle of stewardship demands engagement in the promotion of compassion. It requires that the individual take responsibility for their role in the community. These responsibilities include an awareness of the issues which affect the group. This obligation demands that the individual place the needs of the community above their own personal interests. In placing community requirements above a singular agenda, the individual is encouraged to view the community with personal interest. Rather than a commitment to a set of individualistic values, the community member may seek to balance “individual freedoms against the common good” (Clear & Karp, 1999, p. 126).

  • Self-Compassion And Motivation

    People who have self-compassion are able to examine their thoughts and accept them as valid more than those who score lower on the SCS (Leary, Tate, Adams, Batts Allen & Hancock, 2007; Neff, Hsieh, Dejitterat, 2005; Neff et al., 2007). The difference is that self-compassion people create positive feelings by accepting their negative feelings, allowing themselves to experience them and not judging themselves harshly. Self-compassionate people tend to understand that all people have difficult situations. (Neff, 2003a) Emotional intelligence, wisdom, social connectedness and satisfaction with life in general are all associated with feeling self-compassionate (Neff, 2003a; Neff, Pisitsungkagarn and Hseih, 2008). Individuals who score high on the SCS tend to experience more happiness, optimism, curiosity, creativity and also more positive emotions that self-critical individuals (Hollis-Walker & Colosimo, 2011; Neff et al.,

  • Sympathy For Empathy

    994 Words  | 2 Pages

    Empathy, at the turn of the century, was described as a “unique combination of cognitive effort and bodily feeling, thought to characterize aesthetic feelings,” and had been described as so for many years, much like, sympathy. Empathy, however, broke off from the word sympathy and has since been deemed differently as, “moral activity and a more specific physio-psychological process in how our brain is hardwired,” but empathy and sympathy are still thought to share key features in the 20th century, and society couldn’t be more wrong in using the word empathy so loosely. Sympathy is merely and understanding of one’s emotional state, where empathy is the extreme sense, awareness, and feeling of another’s emotional
