"Man may dismiss compassion, and those who feel it are sometimes combated as weaklings...." - Charles Darwin

💗 Compassion

“Man may dismiss compassion, and those who feel it are sometimes combated as weaklings. But the process is a natural one. And the feeling that results is often the most profound thing in life.”

— Charles Darwin

Even Darwin — the guy famous for 'survival of the fittest' — knew that compassion isn't weakness. It's literally woven into our nature. Don't let anyone make you feel soft for caring deeply.
