It would seem, in our time, when everyone is for himself, the expression of feelings such as pity and compassion is not in fashion. And they are perceived only as a manifestation of weakness - they supposedly interfere with the achievement of the set goal, and kill all hopes of success.

Pity is a bad feeling, many say. Such a fallacy should by no means become your life principle. There are concepts such as moral standards that distinguish a person and give superiority over the entire living world on Earth. In fact, it is not only the brain with a developed intellect that distinguishes a person from an animal. It is compassion that makes us real people, not business sharks. A normal person will never look indifferent at the suffering of others. Moreover, revel in the grief of others and build your happiness on it. To lend a helping hand to the needy - is this a sign of cowardice? Rather, it is a manifestation of humanity. Each of us sometimes needed compassion. The death of a loved one, unhappy love, the failure of admission to the university: it is at such moments that it is important that someone helps, cheers up with a warm word, takes part. Is it so difficult? The ability to sympathize with others helps a person to properly analyze their actions in relation to others. A person who is able to sympathize with someone else's pain will never commit meanness towards his neighbor. You can be tough, persistently go to the intended goal and not give vent to emotions. However, this does not mean that you need to give a damn about the rest and trample on their feelings. In any situation, it is important to remain a person, only then you can become truly happy. Indifference turns us into insensitive idols alien to any feelings. Imagine if everyone will be just such semblances of a man, what will our world turn into? People, like machines, will only fulfill their duties, neglecting their feelings. Without compassion there will be neither love nor joy … nothing that makes our life truly full and rich.
