Reflection on Empathy #1

Empathy is something that I have always wanted to work on so that I can understand and help the people around me without having them to tell me everything. I feel that everyone have empathy within  themselves; it’s just that they don’t know when and how to have empathy. Empathy is the ability to identify, understand the situation and someone’s emotions as if they are your own emotions and putting yourself in their frame. From my point of view, empathy is one of the strongest emotions of a human being because it helps us to understand the situation from different perspectives, how they are feeling, have compassion for them and being moved to take actions without judging anything . Empathy is acknowledging the other person. Empathy is different from sympathy in the way sympathy is looking down on people and showing pity towards them thereby forming an opinion that they are not as capable as the other people. Empathy is giving hand to the other person and sharing their burden; helping them to feel supportive and having positive environment.
