「思いやり」という言葉は―聖人、もしくは感傷的な人のものであるのが常となってしまい―現実との接点を失っています。国連でのTEDPrize@UNにおいて、ジャーナリストのクリスタ・ティペットは幾つかの感動的な物語を通して、そんな「思いやり」の意味を解体し、より達成可能な新しい定義を提案します。

今ひとたび「思いやり」と繋がる

Compassion has been hollowed out by clichés and misunderstood as weakness or naïveté, yet it shapes how people treat themselves and others. Stories of a paraplegic yoga teacher and the founder of L’Arche reveal that compassion lives in presence, curiosity, and tenderness, not just grand gestures. Real compassion is visible and practical, arising from our flaws as much as our strengths. Science is now reclaiming compassion as essential, not just for medicine, but for the survival and flourishing of society.

Compassion Is Not Pity, It Is Real-World Human Technology
