Krista Tippett: Reconnecting With Compassion

In this talk Krista Tippett discusses the definition of compassion.

“It is a liberating thing to realise that that is no obstacle to compassion…..these flaws just make us human”

“Compassion can’t be reduced to sainthood, any more than it can be reduced to pity.”

The term “compassion” — typically reserved for the saintly or the sappy — has fallen out of touch with reality. At a special TEDPrize@UN, journalist Krista Tippett deconstructs the meaning of compassion through several moving stories, and proposes a new, more attainable definition for the word.
