702426761 says:  Kabir highlighted the importance of santosh or contentment in our lives. Indian culture teaches us to be content in all situations. But today, we are not happy with the grades our child gets, our pay packet, our spouse, or our ageing parents. Much of the stress in our lives is the result of our inability to be content with what we have.

I think: "True contentment is not found in possessions or even our loving spouses..or relationships. One has to be at peace with oneself. That is the cause of much of our unhappiness, because we look to others or things to make us happy."

jrazzak says: Can empathy be taught ?

I think: "If we feel with an open heart, then yes! The problem is that many if us have had tough or painful lives, and our hearts close to protect ourselves from reliving that pain again. If we have coped with our own issues, we can help others , and feel empathy."
