Abstract
Compassion is the source of creating an affectionate world. The essence of the human soul remains the same, regardless of racial or ethnic differences. Compassion is the key element which binds them together. Even one, if he thinks beyond horizon, birds and animals also experience compassion toward each other. A feeble old bird was being fed by a younger one; the sight was truly heartwarming. Monkey holding the baby in her arm shows how she cares for each other. Compassion allows us to forge connections with others, mend relationships, and advance, while also fostering emotional intelligence and overall well-being. It begins with empathy, the capacity to understand others and acknowledge the common elements of human experience. Compassion goes further than empathy by including a sincere desire for all individuals to be free from suffering, along with a deep commitment to provide support. This article is an attempt to trap the traits of compassion and how to inculcate this in our academic domain to live in this world with peace and prosperity by educating each other.
