Compassionate Mind and<br />
Healthy Body<br />
Compassion is one of the factors that contributes to our well-being and<br />
that of others. Indeed, compassion is a way of responding to someone<br />
else’s pain and suffering. Such a response translates into action, our<br />
natural “potential” ability to do good. Indeed, compassion implies a positive<br />
and optimistic anthropological pre-understanding: that we as human beings<br />
are wired to perform good deeds; are wired for connectedness and life-giving<br />
relations with other persons of course, but also with creation, ourselves, and<br />
God. Within this framework, compassion obviously plays a major role in<br />
our own and others’ pursuit of human flourishing. As research has found,<br />
compassion has significant impact on our physical, psychological, emotional,<br />
spiritual and social health. Compassion boosts our well-being. It fosters,<br />
nurtures and supports our well-being.<br />
