Where is compassion? It isn't in my opinion any of enjoyment, fear, anger, disgust ... maybe sadness. But looking under sadness I see nothing suggestive to me

Where is compassion?
It isn't in my opinion any of enjoyment, fear, anger, disgust ... maybe sadness. But looking under sadness I see nothing suggestive to me of compassion.
- jey 10y agoThey have it classified under "Enjoyment" as "Compassion/Joy": http://atlasofemotions.com/#states:enjoyment http://atlasofemotions.com/#states:enjoyment
- rfreytag 10y agoThank you. It would be very interesting to see if different languages necessitated new emotional spectra.
- gerbilly 10y agoFrom what I know of this research, these emotions are supposed to be universal and independent of language and culture. "For more than 40 years, Paul Ekman has supported the view that emotions are discrete, measurable, and physiologically distinct. Ekman's most influential work revolved around the finding that certain emotions appeared to be universally recognized, even in cultures that were preliterate and could not have learned associations for facial expressions through media."[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion
- igravious 10y agoCompassion is a virtue, not an emotion. I'm a robot and even I know that ;)
- woodandsteel 10y agoLike many words in the English language, "compassion" has more than one meaning.
