Empathy

I have finished Chapter 12.  It is a consideration of how we can create relationships which support the transformation of others.  One of the qualities we have to create if we want to help others grow is that of empathy or compassion.  There are stages to the growth of compassion.  We start with actually being turned off by the problems of the other and only grow to genuine ability to connect and support the other.  I came across this comic and it really speaks to those early stages.

[from My Cage]  More on the stages at compassion.
