"あらゆる形の自己没頭は共感を殺し、ましてや思いやりを殺します。自分自身に焦点を当てると、問題と執着が大きく見えて世界が狭まります。しかし他人に焦点を当てると、世界が広がります。自分の問題は心の片隅に追いやられて小さく見えるようになり、結びつきや思いやりのある行動に対する能力が向上します。"
— Daniel Goleman
Simplified Meaning:
Thinking only about yourself makes it hard to care about others. When you pay too much attention to your own problems, they seem bigger, and your world feels smaller. But if you think more about others, your world feels bigger, and your own troubles seem less important. This helps you feel more connected to others and act with kindness.
