What is Compassion

Compassion is the wish to relieve suffering coupled with making an effort to do so. Suffering does not need to be overwhelming; it can be something as everyday as feeling like a “bad” parent. Making an effort to relieve suffering can be as simple as being with someone as they experience a difficult emotion, such as sadness.
