RE: Can Beneficial Emotions, Like Compassion And Empathy, Hurt Us In Our Modern Day Society?
If you are at the point where you consciously recognize all those negative things you expect to happen at work you should consider a different path. You already know what's going to happen and you already don't like it so why follow through? Emotions are all negative and are necessary sometimes to recognize and move on. Compassion and kindness are feelings. You should feel compassion for others simply for that fact that they don't love themselves for x amount of traumas and negative variables throughout their life. Learn how to love yourself, feel compassion for others, enjoy your life, and extend help to those that are open to it. I hope that helps, take care :)
This^^ I was basically going to say this.
Why try and fit into the mould of society? Why not create your own mould ? Fuck society :)
Exactly! mah dood!
I agree, but sadly investing is something I love, maybe I will start my own business one day, but from what I hear in that field from my friends is compassion is sometimes best left at the door.
There are plenty of businesses that require compassionate people. You could set up your own "help the [whatever section of society you want to help]" charity and run it from there. And contrary to popular opinion there are loads of funding grants you can apply for that are just ripe for picking.
But like all things in life moderation is the key - so if you plan to heal the world with your awesome compassion then you'll need strong barriers with a healthy dose of "fuck you" to protect yourself. Because you, my friend, are number 1. And you can't be helping people if you haven't got your shit together :)
Pro tip: You'll never get anywhere in life if you don't learn to stick up for yourself, because people will take advantage and walk all over you, I know this through hardened experience. In fact, I can feel a post coming on lol
p.s. Thank you, I'll mention you in my post :)
