Expand Your Perspective, Cultivate Compassion
Practices from Stoicism encourage developing compassion through perspective-taking exercises, such as the 'view from above,' which allows individuals to step back and consider broader contexts, helping to understand others' behaviors beyond immediate reactions. This approach emphasizes recognizing that situations may not be as dire as they appear and fosters empathy by considering the reasons behind others' actions. Additionally, the practice of gratitude enhances compassion by prompting reflections on the positive qualities of others, encouraging appreciation for those around us despite their imperfections.
