Compassion is very similar to empathy, but besides involving caring and empathy for another clown’s distress it usually involves a strong desire to help the other clown.
Many clowns in Clown Nation feel this type of compassion and do all sorts of things to help other clowns, animals, and Clown Nation as a whole.
Micko loves watching online videos of clowns helping other clowns or animals. Sometimes the videos show animals helping other animals too. Micko really feels good watching these examples of clowns helping and sometimes tears come to Micko’s eyes.
Many of the Love Experiments and classroom exercises present on this site offer clowns a chance to engage in helping efforts. Micko hopes you try some yourself!
