People end up compassionate and empathic after suffering indeed

  > People end up compassionate and empathic after suffering indeed I agree, but suffering is not (I hope) a prerequisite to becoming compassionate and empathic. These qualities are inborn for most people. Perhaps suffering makes people more inclined to put these into practice more consciously or more naturally.

    There are meditation practices where the goal is increasing one’s compassion or loving-kindness.
