What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?
A definition of empathy –
the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another
I wish I had this skill.
Maybe I have this skill to some degree but I wish I had more empathy.
Why do I wish for this skill?
Because empathy is in my opinion the skill that helps us be more caring, loving, understanding of other people’s suffering, peaceful,etc.
And I don’t just want to learn empathy because it is useful.
I feel that having empathy is my duty.
Why is it my duty?
Well I think it’s everybody’s duty to develop the skill of empathy.
Why do I think it’s our duty?
Because there are people fighting for change, our rights.
Feminism, Equality, LGBTQ Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, Bahujan Lives Matter, Adivasi Lives Matter!
These movements wouldn’t be possible without empathy.
I am glad you read this line. Thanks a lot! 😊
