"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." – Dalai Lama

The above quote highlights the 'empowering power of compassion and love' Compassion = EMPATHY + ACTION Compassion and love help in following: (1) Fight discrimination (e.g. Gandhi's fight against racial apartheid in South Africa, and British colonialism in India) (2) Heal diseases (e.g. Mother Teresa's care for leprosy patients) (3) Bring social reforms (e.g. Saju Vaibhav's Balika Naach Mohini to prevent child marriage) (4) To address public grievances (e.g. Devyani Dervajam, IAS learning tribal language to address local issues) (5) To make business ethical (e.g. Katan Tata's compassionate capitalism) (6) To deal with hunger and malnutrition (e.g. Lakshmi Krishna IAS → Mission Sampoorna to tackle malnutrition)
