Two Examples of Emotional Response

Rupert brings clarity to two examples of emotional response that a man had, first to the news and then to a public experience. The man says he had difficult emotional responses, grief and anger respectively and asks about what level of engagement should be had with the world. Rupert suggests that his grief in response to news about people you don't know – in this case, children who were hurt –is compassion, which doesn’t arise on behalf of the personal self. It is the experience of our shared being. The second example was a personal response to a man who said that you and your girlfriend shouldn’t walk so slowly. This response rose on behalf of the separate self, or ego, that said, ‘I don't like what he said’. To the best of your ability, live this understanding in your life.
