Compassion

    Compassion, i feel that compassion is necessary to understand the behavior of people. a person that fails to show compassion to others does not just naturally lack this emotion. They develop to become these type of people because of certain circumstances they are put through. As people it will be hard to understand someone that you cannot have compassion for. With compassion comes understanding, and if we cannot understand certain people and their behavior, it would be hard to understand the problems they create in society and work towards solving this problems. In order to modify and help fix certain negative behaviors, compassion needs to be the first emotions that are brought up. Compassion is tied with with happy emotions like joy pleasure and all those words used to describe the general idea of being happy or happiness. when we show compassion we can get many mixed emotions like pleasure joy and others, as we understand were the next person is coming from. The world revolves around us with different types of people that all have compassion in within them. Alot of us fail to show these feelings as we might be emotionally weak. Imagine if the world had very little people with compassion? i would say that this world would not even exist, everyone would be so harsh towards one another. There would be no place for hospitals since doctors would not be required to care for the ill, there would be no schools, no child care centers, no elderly care facilities, why? because we would not need them. But since we do have all these things it means that we live in a world full of compassionate people, people that have feelings, people that understand. We are not machines, so therefore every single one of us has the same feelings since we are all humans, meaning we all can display and have compassion.
