Content / Description
Learning by making mistakes: only if we fail, we can learn; Compassion: what people calls compassion is in fact self indulgence. Compassion is being there for others, knowing what's going on in them, not trying to change or console them; What is true compassion? It comes from the heart, but our views & thoughts prevent us from accessing it; Nurses: if they do it with the true intention of helping others, then they won't burn out; Selfishness: we are all selfish, to a lesser or higher degree.
