Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity

Writer's picture: Philip LorenzoPhilip Lorenzo

In our hyperconnected world of endless notifications and digital distractions, Simone Weil's words ring truer than ever: "Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity." True attention - the kind that sees another person's humanity in full - has become a scarce resource. When we truly attend to someone, we acknowledge their reality, their struggles, their existence beyond a mere social category. It's an act of resurrection, transforming the invisible into the visible. In an age where screens offer easy escape from human connection, Weil challenges us to give the rarest gift: our undivided, compassionate presence to another soul.
