Compassion Is to Feel With Another

A man shares how witnessing the suffering of others brings pain and a desire to alleviate it, and asks if this pain is an argument with reality. Rupert says that compassion means to feel with another, to experience their joy and suffering as your own. To truly feel it, one must be empty of their own experience. The sorrow one feels in compassion is not a sorrow generated by the separate self, but rather the natural feeling that arises from this openness.
