Compassion is very much a quality that can be developed and nurtured.
- catach 3y agoI believe you're talking about capacity for compassion, and I'm speaking of the triggering of compassion. I'd agree that both capacity and scope of triggers can be altered, but it seems to me that that's a process that takes some time and effort. Distinct from choosing in the moment "I am going to feel a certain way about this, right now".
