"When we bring up our children to have knowledge without compassion, their attitude towards others is likely to be a mixture of envy of those in positions above them, aggressive competitiveness towards their peers, and scorn for those less fortunate. This leads to a propensity toward greed, presumption, excess, and very quickly to loss of happiness."
Actually, that wasn't Confucius. It was the Dalai Lama.
So, how do you teach compassion?
How did you learn it?
