So, what exactly is

Compassion?

Presented to Sunflower
Secondary School.
Presented by students of
Canberra Secondary School.
Compassion
• Compassion is a deep feeling
of sympathy for someone who
is suffering. It’s not just an
emotion – Compassion is
accompanied by a strong
desire to take action and
alleviate the suffering you
witness.
• Having compassion can be
difficult in a world where we’re
bombarded with bad news. We
want to take action and help
those in need, but we can
become desensitised by
suffering.
Why is compassion important?
• Compassion gives us the ability to understand someone else's
situation and the desire to take action to improve their lives. ... For
people who are dependent on others for help and
support, compassion is often the most important factor in allowing
them to lead fulfilling lives.
