Nobility in Compassion

John Conolly, a well-known Irish writer, once said, “the nature of humanity, its essence is to feel another’s pain as one’s own and to act to take the pain away“. Compassion literally means “to suffer together“. It draws people to be involved and to help relieve the pains of others.

Humility in Compassion stems from the truth that mental health is a relevant issue because every aspect of a person’s well-being and the society he or she belongs to, is anchored in it.

What does it mean “to see the world through heaven’s eyes”? The quote was taken from a passage that reminds us of how we must see others as God sees them and see ourselves through His eyes.

The beauty of the theme is that it correlates to the goals of the project. From sharing each other’s burdens to giving peace of mind with oneself, others, and God, life becomes more meaningful when there is true nobility in compassion. When people are depressed, fearful and defenceless, we must show compassion and keep the wheel of kindness rolling for whoever may need it next.

HUMILITY + COMPASSION = EMPATHY

When combined, humility and compassion are fundamental principles that lay the groundwork for comprehension, empathy, and constructive transformation. While compassion is the capacity to understand others and act to lessen their pain, humility is admitting one’s own limits and remaining receptive to new information. They promote a more peaceful and equitable world when together.

In addition, the value of accountability can also be included as it provides each person reason to ensure every action and response takes place within an established code of behaviour and ethics.
