"If I hadn't met you" - a short film about compassion

How do I understand, express and live with compassion?

Films like this one can bring us close to the shifting reactions of our mind as it navigates pity, grief, and shared suffering with someone else or ourselves.

As I wish to be free of pain and suffering, may you be free of pain and suffering.
