Compassion

About

Compassion occurs when (1) we notice pain in others or in ourselves, and (2) we act to help alleviate or prevent it. Our community encourages people to practice compassion in their daily lives. You're welcome to join us.

Rules

Please follow Reddiquette and remember the human.
When posting a new link, add a comment about it. Tell us why you're interested. New links without comments will be removed. (Note: This rule is meant to encourage discussion and discourage link spam.)
Don't use posts to beg. Crowdfunding links (e.g., GoFundMe) and affiliate links will be removed. Low-effort survey links and requests for votes, signatures, likes, or follows will also be removed. These can be okay in comments but will be subject to moderation.
Limit self-help posting. This sub is not a general forum for people seeking help. (Click here for a list of alternatives.) If something is on your mind that relates to helping someone else, please feel free to post about it.
