"L'auto-absorption sous toutes ses formes tue l'empathie et encore moins la compassion. Lorsque nous nous concentrons sur nous-mêmes notre monde se contracte à mesure que nos problèmes et préoccupations prennent de l'ampleur. Mais lorsque nous nous concentr"
— Daniel Goleman
Simplified Meaning:
When people only think about themselves and their own issues, they find it hard to care about others. This is because they are too wrapped up in their own problems. Imagine a student who is constantly worried about their grades and never notices that their friend is feeling lonely. The student's worries seem huge and overwhelming. However, if the student starts paying attention to how their friend is doing, they may realize their own problems are not as big as they thought. By looking beyond their own concerns, they can lend a hand and show kindness to their friend. This makes them feel more connected to others and less isolated. Basically, focusing on others not only helps them but also makes our own worries seem smaller and easier to manage.
