This homemade paint came out pretty thick, and was a little hard to squeeze. Next time weâll dilute it with a bit more water. The good news is that the paint dries quickly. The squeeze paintings we made with regular tempera paint (2 days ago) are still wet, while these are already completely dry! And they have a nice puffy, sparkly texture too! If youâre looking for a smooth paint (like tempera from the art store), this paint may be disappointing.
People often confuse the words empathy and sympathy. Empathy means âthe ability to understand and share the feelings of anotherâ (as in both authors have the skill to make you feel empathy with their heroines), whereas sympathy means âfeelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortuneâ (as in they had great sympathy for the flood victims)
Compassion literally means âto suffer together.â Among emotion researchers, it is defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with anotherâs suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. Compassion is not the same as empathy or altruism, though the concepts are related. While empathy refers more generally to our ability to take the perspective of and feel the emotions of another person, compassion is when those feelings and thoughts include the desire to help.
