I think it’s no coincidence that the sun is the light source used as an example, and the “Son” is our light source in the same way. I was just doing a bible study and was wondering what compassion truly meant, as I saw Jesus having compassion on people. Usually I read articles but I felt I needed to watch a youtube video and scrolled down and felt I needed to see this one. This brings so much clarity and has helped me so much.
*"Empathy is the feeling of", "Compassion is the Higher Minded managing of Empathy and/or the act inspired by Empathy."* Sympathy is the "imagining another's state of pain, loss. In order to genuinely have Sympathy, one must possess a degree of Empathy.
compassion is like an upgrade to empathy. compassion has action without expectations. also, when empathy occurs, one can feel and resonate with someone's pain. compassion has a buffer between you and someone's pain. it's more like unconditional love. if you can help, you help. but if you can't you just go one with your live. makes sense?

Like love, compassion is a strong and powerful positive force that can drive fear away.
Big difference between the two!
Does compassion really come from empathy? Can't it also come from sympathy?
Sympathy is “ standing with”, empathy is “ standing in” another’s shoes.
*"Empathy is the feeling of", "Compassion is the Higher Minded managing of Empathy and/or the act inspired by Empathy."*
Sympathy is the "imagining another's state of pain, loss.
In order to genuinely have Sympathy, one must possess a degree of Empathy.
