![“[P]eople think of compassion as, like, kindness. The image comes to mind of some nice New Age guy bending to something with a look on his face like he’s about to cry. And I don’t think that’s it. I think of it more as a quality of openness that comes with being in a state of unusual attentiveness.” quote by George Saunders](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/513/george-saunders-317_attentiveness_p-eople-think-of-compassion-as-like-kind_1295518.jpg)
