Compassion.
Towards the other.
Empathy: in an ever more competitive world.
To replace yourself in the other and to experience his emotions.
I love it. I believe it is the way to understand each other and to live a rich and emotional satisfied life.
And it is just what we need.
Young and old.
Kids and parents.
Family and friends.
In a society in which time is a fragile institute.
Communication becomes a hyper intense mechanism while a moment of real listening and profound contact is hardly there anymore.
Frans de Waal, professor in Psychology at the Atlanta University, USA, points out that ' our society is more and more based on an ideology focused at ourselves. He adds that, empathy and solidarity are both ancient characteristics from mammal who made it possible for primates to construct a complex society. And our societies would be better of if we would be inspired while developing these characteristics.
