The Importance of Compassion in Your Life

The first beneficiary of compassion is actually yourself. When we are when our focus is too narrow and focus too much on self, even the small problems tend to assume a very great proportion. The more compassionate you are, the more you are able to bring into account other people's well being as part of your equation. And that's almost paradoxical, because one the rational mind would say, hang on a minute i you're thinking about someone else's problem. But it turns out it's exactly the opposite.
