Example text
Compassion means actually doing something to help. Being compassionate is not about trying to be a saint or being so kind that you become a doormat for other people. Being compassionate is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. It takes strength to remain caring and rational when the easiest thing to do is to stop caring or give in to anger. And it takes bravery to act, when it is much easier to do nothing. Given the definition of compassion, you might think it is more emotionally and physically taxing than empathy, but that’s not the case.
Whether you are trying to get a promotion, reach a financial milestone, complete a degree, or help a child learn to read, compassion will help you to accomplish your goal more efficiently and effectively, and it will make the achievement more enduring, fulfilling, and rewarding. Compassion is win-win. It will help you to be successful, and it will help solve problems and create opportunities for others. The ripple effect takes over from there, spreading success throughout the community. I call people who achieve success by helping others compassionate achievers.
Porges’s insight into vagal tones explains why our heart races when we are angry and fearful and why it beats gently when we feel happy and safe. When we have a lower heart rate,28 according to Porges, we tend to follow more constructive “social engagement” behaviors, such as compassion rather than callousness. A strong vagus nerve, in other words, helps a person take a calm and soothing approach rather than a fight-or-flight reaction to life’s problems and sufferings. Another reason for calling it the nerve of compassion is that an active vagus nerve stimulates the release of the “moral molecule”: oxytocin.
