Compassion is a word for a very positive emotion that has to do with being thoughtful and decent. When you have compassion, you’re putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and really feeling for them. When you feel compassion for someone, you really want to help them. Giving to a charity takes compassion. Volunteering to work with sick people or animals takes compassion. Anytime a disaster like a hurricane or earthquake hits, others will feel compassion for the victims.
