outcome
"True compassion does not drown in another's sorrow; it remains joyful, illuminating the path to healing and hope."
According to Osho, true compassion doesn’t mirror another’s misery; if you become sad you only add sorrow. Compassion feels their pain yet remains joyful, investigates its causes, and helps remove them. Your cheerfulness becomes living proof that happiness is possible, revives hope, and catalyzes real change—unlike anger or pious consolations, which perpetuate suffering.

- Prevents emotional contagion and added misery.
- Shifts effort to removing root causes instead of reacting from anger.
