"自我吸收会扼杀同理心，更不用说怜悯了。当我们专注于自己时，我们的世界会收缩，因为我们的问题和困扰变得巨大。但当我们专注于他人时，我们的世界会扩大。我们自己的问题会漂移到意识的边缘，看起来更小，并且我们增加了连接或富有同情心的行动的能力。"
— 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.
