Since ancient times, to survive this society it has required affectivity, empathy and compassion. Thus in a world of speed, a world that seems to have lost nature, we can see that these feelings are actually necessary. Without them, humanity would be represented by robots, which would have a stable schedule, work without communication and cooperation.
Daily we take part in the sufferings and joys of others, our vocation as persons is to help them, to develop them, to get them out of the deadlock, but also to be present at their joys.
Human behavior must be full of delicacy, purity, transparency, showing deep compassion through these feelings of ours.
