This insight of Einstein's is uncannily close to that of Buddhist psychology, wherein compassion -- "karuna," it is called -- is defined as, "the sensitivity to another's suffering and the corresponding will to free the other from that suffering."
Viziunea lui Einstein este ciudat de apropiata de psihologia budista, in care compasiunea, numita karuna, este definita ca: "Sensibilitatea fata de suferinta altuia si vointa corespondenta de a-l elibera pe celalalt de acea suferinta."
