Composition
Compassion is the ability to empathize with another person, to feel someone else's pain. People who know how to sympathize are free from indifference and bitterness. Compassion motivates a person to do good deeds. To prove my words, I will give specific examples.
In the text A.
Likhanova, a girl who came to work at a boarding school, showed compassion for abandoned children. She felt their pain, loneliness, resentment and realized that these “sad little people” needed the love and care of loved ones. Compassion pushed the girl to do a good deed - to help these children find a family.
A striking example of the manifestation of compassion is the Tatar girl Dina, the heroine of L. Tolstoy’s story “Prisoner of the Caucasus.” Imbued with sympathy for the Russian officer and not afraid of her father’s anger, Dina stealthily runs to the pit where Zhilin is sitting, brings him milk and cakes and finally arranges an escape.
Thus, compassion is the willingness to help others without thinking.

(According to L. Kuklin)
Option 1 Compassion is the ability not only to feel the pain of another person, but also to help either get rid of it or reduce it.
The basis of this feeling, in my opinion, is love for all living things, because without it compassion cannot be sincere.
Thus, it was the love of the famous Mother Teresa for people throughout her long life that was the basis for the construction of dozens of shelters and hospitals for the poor and sick. She received the Nobel Peace Prize for her charity.
There can be different reasons for showing feelings of compassion. This is confirmed by the action of the hero of the story by L. Kuklin - a boy who gave a valuable collection of stamps to a paralyzed, unfamiliar “comrade” (sentence 33). He did this out of a desire to please him and make life easier for his peer (sentence 35).
I think that only those who accept other people's pain or problems as their own can truly be compassionate.
Option 2 What is compassion? I think the answer lies in the word itself. The prefix “co-” denotes togetherness, community, that is, compassion is the ability to share suffering and, if possible, find a way to get rid of it.
This spiritual quality is characteristic of sensitive, caring people. The hero of L. Kuklin’s story really became imbued with the misfortune of his peer, confined to a wheelchair (sentences 32-34). He did not spare the album for him (sent.
33) and sincerely shared the boy’s feelings when he cried with joy after accepting the gift (sentence 44).
A person needs a person, especially in difficult times. It’s wonderful that there is such a wonderful quality - compassion.
Option 3 Compassion is a manifestation of sincere, selfless love from a person to a person in a difficult situation. Compassionate people always act as if they are helping not a stranger, but the person closest to them. In the text by L. Kuklin, the narrator’s son parts with an album of rare stamps.
The boy is touched by the story of a peer, a stranger, whose legs are paralyzed (sentences 32-34), and he, without hesitation, gives the patient a valuable collection.
I can give an example of compassion from life: one of the residents of our house prepares lunches on Saturdays at a homeless shelter not for money - out of compassion.
As long as this feeling lives in us, we can be called People.

Completed essay 9.3 “What is compassion?”
Compassion is pity, sympathy caused by the misfortune of another person or living creature. A person who can understand someone else's pain, feel sympathy, and help in any way can be called kind, sincere and caring. I will prove this with examples from L. Kuklin’s text and from life experience.
In the above text, the main character could not remain indifferent to someone else’s grief after he saw a boy who was paralyzed and could not walk. Therefore, he gave him the most expensive thing he had at that time - an album with stamps that he had collected for so long and carefully with his father. The hero wanted to please the sick boy and support him.
In life, too, there are people who experience empathy, compassion for the pain, grief of another person or living creature. For example, my grandmother lives in my building; every day early in the morning she goes out to feed the stray dogs and cats living near our house. She feels sorry for these animals, she is not indifferent to their fates.
So, compassion is a wonderful quality, so those who possess it can be called real people.

What is compassion? According to A. A. Likhanov
Essay OGE (GIA): What is compassion?
What is compassion? In my understanding, this is the quality of a person that allows him to understand the pain of another and strive to reduce it. Should everyone have this ability? I am sure that we all need to learn to sympathize and empathize.
The work of the Soviet writer A. A. Likhanov shows a heroine who fully possessed the ability to compassion.
The author tells how the illiterate Aunt Grunya, who worked “not as an orderly, not as a nurse, but as a watchman,” did not go home after her shift, but stayed in the hospital to go around “the hospital wards, to give someone some water, to tuck in a cold cloth blanket for someone.”
Reading about how the heroine calmed and “lulled” the soldiers with some “words,” we understand that the wounded front-line soldiers see in her a close person, like a mother. I believe that the heroine A.A. It was Likhanova’s compassion that saved the soldiers.
You can understand what real compassion is by reading V.G. Korolenko’s story “In a Bad Society.”
The story of the main character Vasya, the son of a judge, is touching.
It was compassion that helped the main character decide to steal a doll from his sister in order to bring joy to a dying child.
Of course, compassion is a quality that largely determines a person’s life, and we must strive to develop it.
Text by A. A. Likhanov
(1) She appeared before Alexei’s gaze one evening, at the hour of his frantic attack of pain, and did not pass by, she lingered.
(2) Pryakhin found out later that Aunt Grunya works not as an orderly, not as a nurse, but as a watchman, she sits at the entrance, and after her shift she goes around the hospital wards to give someone some water, to tuck someone in with a cold cloth blanket, although no one tells her about this asked.
(3) But is it really necessary to ask when there is war, when people need compassion more than bread? (4) And the illiterate old woman wandered between the beds in the evenings, fluffing pillows, putting compresses on her hot, puffy foreheads and saying, pronouncing some words, either lulling them to sleep, or telling some magical fairy tale.
(5) Just like that, she entered Alekseev’s gaze, into his dilated pupils with pain, put her palm to his cheek, somehow leaned comfortably on his elbow, stood for a minute, sighed and leaned towards Pryakhin, unexpectedly strongly, but carefully raised his head with one hand, and the other fluffed the pillow.
(6) When her duty ended, Aunt Grunya would now sit down on a stool near Alexey, moisten his dried, caked lips with a corner of the towel, and wipe his face, and bring him some water, and all the time she stroked his cold, lifeless hand and said, sentenced, not regretting words, soft, like a good bandage.
(7) And she stroked and stroked Alexei’s cold hand and, apparently, achieved her goal. (8) The hand turned pink, became warm, and one day Pryakhin looked at Aunt Grunya consciously and began to cry. (9) And she cried too. (10) Only her tears were light.
(11) Aunt Grunya knew that she had achieved her goal, that now this soldier would survive, because he had overcome his pain, and she also cried because her husband and son had not sent news from the front for a long time and, maybe, just like this poor fellow Alexei Pryakhin, they are toiling in a hospital somewhere, suffering and tormenting in the same way...
(12) How could she, a mother and wife, not go to the wards after duty, how could she not say her kind words, how could she not help Alexei?
- (13) After discharge, Aunt Grunya brought Alexei to her house, clean and cozy.
- (14) In the corner behind a curtain there seemed to be a separate room, and Aunt Grunya nodded at her:
- - (15) Here’s your room.
- (16) Aunt Grunya, how am I going to settle accounts with you? - Pryakhin smiled. - (17) What kind of gold and silver?
“(18) And-and, dear,” answered Aunt Grunya angrily. - (19) If people started paying each other for everything, they would turn the whole world into a store. (20) God bless us from this store! (21) Then the good will be destroyed! (22) He will be gone.
- (23) Why? — Alexey was surprised.
(24) Aunt Grunya looked at him sternly.
—(25) Because good is without self-interest. (26) Didn’t Al know?

Essay reasoning Compassion with example
Compassion is a positive quality of a person, which personifies all the kindness and tenderness of his soul.
Unfortunately, not every person has compassion. In the modern world, cruelty prevails over kindness. Sometimes people do not pay attention to the world around them, devoting all their time to themselves. However, I believe that compassion lives in every person. Perhaps someone has it hidden deep in their soul, but it still exists, you just need to get it out. And some people have more compassion than others.
There is no need to confuse terms such as compassion and pity. Compassion is the ability to feel what another person feels. This is empathy. But pity, unlike compassion, cannot be considered a positive quality. After all, this is almost the same as saying: “you are a loser.”
It is compassion that helps a person understand how another person feels. Be it physical or mental pain. Compassion makes a person help people.
In fifth grade I had a friend named Yulia. I never noticed any compassion or empathy behind her. She seemed to be deprived of these feelings. That's what everyone in the class thought. After all, when some girl’s skirt tore, everyone sympathized with her. Except Yulia. But we were all wrong. Yulia is the only one of us who, even in the fifth grade, had correct ideas about compassion. One day, my classmate's hamster died. And the only person who sympathized with him was Yulia. Everyone else didn't pay any attention to this boy.
I believe that compassion should be cultivated from childhood. Moreover, it is not only humans who need to empathize. Sometimes animals need compassion too. For example, stray dogs and cats. After all, what does it cost a person to provide them with shelter? For this, animals will give affection and love. Yes, even birds. They also need to empathize. What does it cost a person to hang a feeder on a tree and throw in a few grains?
The world is based not on cruelty, but on kindness. And there is never too much of it, just like compassion. Therefore, every person should, from childhood, look for these feelings in his soul and learn to empathize with the world around him.
Essay 15.3 (What is compassion?)
Ushakov’s explanatory dictionary defines compassion as follows. Compassion is empathy for another's suffering; participation aroused by the grief and misfortune of another person.
I completely agree with this definition. Compassion means feeling someone else's pain as your own and striving to help the sufferer. The feeling of compassion is always action, because in an effort to help the suffering person, a person looks for ways to reduce suffering.
Compassion is not only comfort, it is also active action. A person can show compassion to another person or to an animal. But the objects of compassion do not end there. Compassion can also be shown towards nature, towards fish, insects, plants. In a word, to all living things.
We show compassion when we give to a poor person. We show compassion when we feed a hungry dog or any other animal. We show compassion by taking a stray kitten into our home.
We show compassion by participating in charity and volunteering, helping the weak elderly and deprived orphans.
Compassion is a special quality of the human soul, the willingness to help one’s neighbor without hesitation, an important and noble feeling, a natural quality of the heart.
By cultivating a sense of compassion, we simultaneously learn to forgive others, learn tolerance, and develop our inner strength and confidence. We eradicate cruelty in ourselves. Because a cruel person does not know the feeling of compassion. Cruel people are most often also selfish. As a result, they think only about themselves. The suffering of other people is alien to them.
By showing compassion, a person shows one of the best human qualities. It gives him love for people and the world around him. Gives you joy from realizing your own capabilities and your own importance in your own eyes and in the eyes of those you helped.
One of the most striking examples of human compassion is Mother Teresa. All researchers are unanimous in understanding its spiritual basis. This is nothing more than compassion.
Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun who spent her entire life serving the poor and sick. She founded a community - the monastic congregation (order) “Sisters of the Missionaries of Love”, which exists and operates to this day.
The Order has branches and houses of mercy in more than 100 countries around the world.
Isn't this proof of how strong this feeling can be and how much a person can achieve when guided by it?

Essay-reasoning on the topic “Empathy and Compassion”
Every person needs care and empathy. In any difficult situation, you want to feel sincere support from loved ones. Compassion and empathy are the qualities that a truly developed person should possess. This feeling allows a person, without special requests, to come to the aid of someone who is going through a difficult period and needs understanding.
A person who is able to sympathize and sympathize knows how to put himself in his place and fully feel his pain and inner experiences. It is the one who possesses these qualities who is a truly complete and developed personality. He has a big heart and an open soul. This person, who comes face to face with the problems of another person, is able to isolate from his personal life and experience what will be useful to the suffering person. Only after experiencing some difficult events in your life is it possible to help another, offer him solutions and fully feel his pain.
But often such noble feelings are replaced by pity for a person. It is this feeling that cannot be called truly worthy. Often people don’t want to take their lives into their own hands: they stop taking care of themselves, their health and their lives in general. Accordingly, in the lives of such people, something constantly doesn’t work out and doesn’t go as planned. It is at such moments that people give up and blame circumstances and everyone around them for everything. They only complain about their hard life to others and demand their understanding and support. Pity for a person is not a noble feeling, because in this case people are convinced that the person is pathetic and incapable of anything. Sympathy and compassion presupposes the absence of pity and only the manifestation of empathy for another.
It may also happen that people who need understanding at some point do not find it. At such moments, this internal pain and experience spills out onto other people in the form of anger and aggression. Due to internal disagreement with themselves and not receiving support from others at the right time, people begin to offend others. It’s a shame that others simply don’t understand that all this anger comes out only because of the inner pain of another. There is no need to be offended by him at such moments, but it is better to try to understand him, talk and listen. Sometimes people just need to be listened to, understood and have their point of view accepted. Any person cannot live without accepting others.
In life, you need to have those who are able to sincerely empathize and sympathize. After all, if Lyuli cannot understand and support others in this way, the world will become mired in anger and aggression. There will be no love and sincere feelings. It is precisely such bad and negative manifestations of feelings, such as aggression and anger, that can ruin the inner mood of not only all the people around, but also the person who expresses these feelings. It is important to remember that an aggressive person cannot just be like that. This is the only way he shows inner feelings and needs sympathy and compassion. You also need to know that without the necessary support from other people, a person will either break under the yoke of his inner pain or will show aggression towards himself and other people. You should definitely learn to put yourself in the shoes of another and show him the feelings that he needs at such a difficult moment.
