Andean corazonar concept treats others’ suffering as one’s own motivation to act

Evidence

According to him, corazonar—an Andean cultural concept—means “to experience the misfortune or unjust suffering of others as one’s own and to be willing to join in the struggle against it” (p. 100). Thus, corazonar means the warming up of the heart; that is, the heart guiding the reason and the emotion. It implies vital energy compelling toward solidarity, coexistence, and resistance. — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 1393
