When a Stranger's Pain Becomes Your Own
Have you ever winced watching someone stub their toe in a movie? Or felt your chest tighten reading about a child lost in a crowd? That instinctive reaction reveals something profound about human nature that a Scottish philosopher identified over 250 years ago. Long before neuroscience discovered mirror neurons, Adam Smith recognized that we're hardwired for connection. His 1759 masterpiece challenged the cynical view that humans are purely selfish creatures. Instead, he proposed something radical: we possess an innate capacity to feel what others feel, and this sympathy forms the bedrock of all moral behavior. This isn't just abstract philosophy-it's the invisible force that makes you slow down when you see an accident, donate to disaster relief for people you'll never meet, or feel genuine joy at a friend's promotion.
