MANIME: Manly Lessons from Anime: Rising of the Shield Hero Part 4: The Realities of Compassion
Welcome to another episode of Manime Month where we learn manly lessons from Anime! We have loved doing these shows and if you enjoy them, let us know what shows you’d like us to use for future Manime months!
Today on the show we look at the realities of compassion and how Naofumi showed compassion to people even when his feelings weren’t always there
As men, we may not always feel things but we are good at getting things done. This is why we are great at showing compassion, but not always sympathy. Naofumi is a classic example of a man who shows incredible compassion even if he doesn’t show a lot of sympathy.
Compassion Gives Attention & Action
- Naofumi showed real compassion with Raphtalia
- Compassion Pays Attention
- Marcus Buckingham “Attention is the food of love” and “The opposite of love is not hate but ignoring”
- Compassion isn’t a formula it is an extremely personal way of relating
- Naofumi did pay attention, but he followed it up with action
Compassion Gives Significance
- Naofumi treated people with significance, even when he questioned himself about it
- What we do when we are paying attention is recognize a person’s humanity and it develops and recognizes our humanity
- For many guys, the path to freedom or the best life isn’t what they will receive from others but what they give.
- Learning how to give and serve can help set us free from our struggles
- The villagers that Naofumi protected are inspired by his example and they fight with him
CHALLENGE:
- Start working on paying attention
- Look for opportunities to take action and give compassion to others
- It starts with us paying attention, and taking action, and then significance and life change happens to the people you help and yourself
Watch and Enjoy!
