Sympathize. Compassion is the embodiment of human love and the concrete act of the principle of mutual aid. There are always many unexpected disasters in real life, and people often seem to be extremely isolated when they suffer from disasters, and it is absolutely necessary to accept the sympathy of family and friends.

In ancient times, people had little ability to prevent disasters, and in the face of great disasters and suffering, they could only produce fear and despair. It is in the process of helping others to get through difficult times that compassion gradually becomes a human virtue.

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle devoted himself to sympathy in his book Rhetoric. He defined sympathy as "an emotion of anguish caused by a devastating, painful and significant calamity that befell a person who should not have suffered such an accident," and "the sympathizer would imagine that such a calamity might also befall himself or one of his relatives and friends, and that it would seem imminent."

It is very clear that the person who generates sympathy must be such a person. This definition of sympathy is somewhat narrow, but it shows that in the thinking of ancient Western philosophers, there is already a place for "sympathy". Ancient Chinese thinkers have long been concerned about the psychological manifestations of "sympathy" and have given a relatively broad explanation of it.

Here, compassion has been manifested as human nature. In his famous children's book "The Book of Virtues", the American educator William Bennett talks about compassion in the first unit, and his explanation of compassion is: "If courage is to stand with others when they face difficulties, then sympathy is to stand with others when they feel grief, and sympathy is a virtue that takes seriously the reality of others—not only his life situation, but also his inner world, his feelings."
