The Privilege of Empathy

Okay... let me get straight into the point…we all felt bad for some endangered species around the world and some used to take some steps in whatever they can to save the endangered species…. So, what is the step or any action taken to save the well-known species named as Human Being!
Have we ever thought about it… Mostly No…!

We missed that opportunity when we are busy fighting each other to capture the world for a particular community of people to keep the world for themselves… But for the particular community people who think to capture the world..they keep themselves united and save their community by using Empathy, It means Feeling into...

It is how the Humans are/were connected to each other!

Usually, When speaking about empathy we used to get confused by comparing that with sympathy….

Sympathy is a type of emotion when we feel pity for a person when we witness something or when they express something to us ….

Sympathy is a temporary feeling shown or comfort given for a particular time alone and it can come with unknown people too like we have witnessed when we are in some public place, we fell for some old lady or men by seeing their sickness and give them money, cloth or food whatever possible to make them comfortable for that time alone ….

How Empathy differs from Sympathy?

Empathy is caring for a victim personally knowing their struggle and also when you have experienced the same struggle… It can be a personal loss, it can be a breakup in their relationship/friendship or when they lose their job or when they become homeless in any natural calamities and homesickness when staying far away from home… It might be any of this feeling... Empathy is being with them and going through the struggle by sharing it and come away from the struggle…

Before going deeply into it… I would like to say …

In this world Every living thing Mostly humans long for themselves to be seen, understood, and appreciated by everyone! It makes them a complete human being… Now think of a boy/girl mindset sitting alone as an audience in-ground and clapping for his classmate for achieving something in the career when he also had equal opportunity and missed it! Feels pity right…when you understand the boy/girl’s feeling and if you had gone through the same and if you can help the boy to come away from that feeling than you are the empathist! 

 

I FEEL YOUR PAIN:

We are made for this!
(Repeat it yourself once again)

It is not a sentence that we should use it only with our loved ones…
Using empathy, we reflect the feeling of others...
Our brain used to identify when we understand the feelings of others and it reacts and works similarly with the person who you are sharing the feeling... Empathy is simply making them feel genuine that your pain is my pain!

IS EMPATHY A SKILL?

Yes.. It is a skill which allows us to understand each other.. share our thoughts and feelings and it makes us feel another person's emotions as if they were our own…

Without empathy, you will drop out or will not be successful wherever you are

The important reason why marriages fail in this era is mainly due to a lack of empathy between the partners …

Empathy can only be with a person when you are connected with each other directly by having meaningful conversations… It cannot be through any social media/ virtually, where you even have so many restrictions and reports while sharing the feelings….

A collective of people’s Empathy can also be an equivalent of Natural resources will save the species of mankind…

 

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST:

Everyone in your circle will not understand your feelings/emotions…you should genuinely have at least a single person in life to share your feelings that is why marriages are done! But this mankind made that as business and also to maintain their status in their community and not considering the decision of partners or even thinking in this perspective… Not only in marriage, Even in our profession when there is a lack of empathy and when we face nepotism and been belittled every time instead of encouragement…

Empathy can be gained by letting yourself help a person to overcome their feelings by understanding their thoughts/feelings and genuinely sharing the emotions...
It is very easy to catch the emotions of others since our brain mechanism is in that way, the only thing is you have to let yourself bring in the change!
The action plays an important role here … i.e., your eye contact with the person, The tone of voice, your response for their emotion needed for absorbing the feelings of others!

Remember, Fear Kills Empathy! Reduce the fear of thinking of the difference between you and them…Being empathetic is the bravest thing you can do in your life…

Explore the world and all collaborate with all, be rational, and also be a logical thinker & open your mind to get the same wavelength of others... It requires yourself to be the courage to touch and move and this is how you can survive!

 

BEING ALTRUISTIC:

For gaining empathy or to be empathetic one has to be Altruistic

The exact definition of Altruistic is when a person is more concerned in the welfare of others by not being selfish!

Be a human and do good to others even when you know they can’t give you back anything and also doing that when no else is watching too. It is called Integrity!

To achieve big things you have to collaborate, stay connected with each other and Empathy is the root of it. When we have empathized with each other, we can solve whatever the problem is or how grave the situation is we can easily come out of it.
It is sad to say that nowadays we have a more significant relationship with the smartphone than with fellow humans… technology take over our mental health and put us in depression feeling and also in so much of negativity... To live a luxury life is okay. But remember LOVE and COMPASSION are the necessities and without them, humanity will never survive…
Finally, we all are here for mutual aid and collaboration… Being Human is okay, being with humanity is much needed in this world now….

 

If u genuinely understand why I felt sharing my thoughts about empathy and if you think it is the same as yours…
we deserve to be friends 😃
