THE FEEL-THEIR-DISTRESS BALL
Increase your sensitivity to other people's distress.
Increase your sensitivity to other people's distress.
Everyone, except the most highly distressed people, erect fronts and facades so that other people won’t know how distressed they really are. The Feel-Their-Distress Ball is a simple, black, soft, firm, spongy ball that helps you to reach behind other people’s fronts and facades and actually feel some of the distress that they’re feeling - and thereby to be able to truly empathize with them.
Hold The Feel-Their-Distress Ball in one hand, and with your other hand touch the person whose distress you want to feel. In just a little while you’ll be able to actually feel a part of that other person’s distress.
Hold The Feel-Their-Distress Ball in one hand, and with your other hand touch the person whose distress you want to feel. In just a little while you’ll be able to actually feel a part of that other person’s distress.
And you can rest assured that the amount of distress that you then will be feeling is only a part of what the person is actually feeling - the person is actually feeling much worse.
(If the thought of touching the other person makes you feel squeamish, you can just imagine that you’re touching them, although you don’t get as accurate a reading that way.)

PLEASE NOTE: We were originally concerned that if this product were actually produced that some people might be tempted to use the information gained either to think negatively about the other people, to use it against them in some other way, or to elevate themselves above them, rather than trying to help them. But after further consideration we realized that those things could only happen when they didn’t actually feel the pain of the other people. Once they actually felt their pain, they could only have compassion for them and want to help them and nothing else.

SELECTED RELEVANT QUOTATIONS FROM SEFORIM HAKEDOSHIM
ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF SOME OF THE ABOVE AND OTHER QUOTATIONS
· (Shabbos 151b) It was taught, Rabban Gamliel the son of Rebbi says… Anyone who is compassionate towards creatures, they are compassionate on him from Heaven, and anyone who is not compassionate toward creatures, they are not compassionate on him from Heaven.
· (Nedarim 64b) And it was taught, Four people are considered as dead: a poor person, a metzora, a blind person and one who has no children. (Tosafos: We are told this so people will pray for compassion from Heaven on them.)
· (Maharal, Gevuras Hashem, Ch. 27, s.v. Hisbaeir) Rabbi Yochanon said (Megillah 31a), Every place that you find the greatness of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, there you find his humility…. It seems that the explanation is that Rabbi Yochanon is coming to explain that it is the opposite of what people think that the exaltedness of Hashem, be He blessed, is that His glory is found among the upper beings. But this is not true, because the exaltedness of Hashem, be He blessed, is that He is joined with the lowly beings.
· (Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz, Sichos Mussar, maamar 48, s.v. U’mah hayu divoreha) …because in This World, HaKadosh Baruch Hu created a “heart” in man, and the heart feels other people, both their joys and pains. And through his feeling the other person, he is able to give to him and complete that which he is lacking.
· (Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz, Sichos Mussar, maamar 18, s.v. Harei) Behold, one of the conditions of the Moshiach is that he will have many yisurim…. His place will not be among the talmidei chochomim who are involved with Torah in the beis hamedrash, rather among those sufferers of bad diseases. And the reason for this appears to be, that in order for him to be the redeemer of Yisrael, he must feel for the klal (everyone), and you have noone who feels for others more than he who has many yisurim, because he who is full does not worry about the yisurim of the hungry…. And feeling the pain of others is joining in their pain and suffering. And he who joins in the pain of his friend merits to a mighty level, like Chazal say (Koheles Rabbah 7:2,4) concerning the friends of Iyov (Job) who came to console him at the time of his trouble, that they merited to prophesy, and furthermore they merited that their names were publicized in the Torah, whereas those who came to the great feast of Avraham on the day he circumcised Yitzchok, their names were not publicized and they didn’t merit to prophesy.
