🌱 Empathy vs Compassion

now it turns out that these activate entirely different parts of the brain there is always some overlap but there are distinct parts of the brain but more to the point they have different effects so the empathy training makes people suffer it makes people selfish and leads to burn out while the compassion training is pleasurable people enjoy it enjoy the feeling kindness towards other people and it makes them nicer

Empathy sounds like the dark side, and compassion the light side.
