About this Quote

This quote by Mark Twain speaks to the importance of compassion and understanding. It suggests that while some individuals are capable of great and brave deeds, they may not constantly have the ability to recognize the significance of not sharing their own joy with those who are unhappy. It is a pointer that we ought to be mindful of the feelings of others and not be so quick to share our own pleasure when we understand that it might not be shared or appreciated by those around us. It is a tip to be sensitive to the feelings of others and to be knowledgeable about the effect our words and actions can have on those around us. It is a reminder to be kind and understanding, and to be conscious of the sensations of those who might not be as lucky as us.
