Compassion is still alive and well

This lovely story about an older boy helping a disabled one-year-old was inspiring.

Sometimes children amaze us, don't they!

There is so much compassion in many people; both young and old.

These are the people who make the world a better place, as this mother points out in her impassioned, 'thank you' letter in the hope the young Samaritan may read it.

What makes some people compassionate and others not so much?

It seems that empathy or compassion is all about those who have keener brain activity and sensitivity, generally, in regard to what is going on in the world around them, compared to those who don't.
I found this article in the link below, from the ibtimes.co.uk interesting.

How do you feel when someone shows you compassion, empathy, or even sympathy, especially when you've suffered some kind of great loss?
