“Nothing helps us build our perspective more than developing compassion for others. Compassion is a sympathetic feeling. It involves the willingness to put yourself in someone else's shoes, to take the focus off yourself and to imagine what it's like to be in someone else's predicament, and simultaneously, to feel love for that person.

In recognizing this fact and trying to offer some assistance, we open our own hearts and greatly enhance our sense of gratitude.”
