This blog is about the modern day person's ability to empathize with others. I'll chronicle my own stories of empathy in hopes that my experiences will inspire my readers to show more empathy in their day-to-day dealings. Empathy is an intelligent way for us to connect to the people around us in a more meaningful way. We're surrounded by tons of people, yet we're so isolated from one another. Empathy gives us to the opportunity to live vicariously through someones feelings, thoughts, or attitudes. Whether that's living vicariously through someone you know intimately or someone you're able to connect with in a fleeting moment; you're feeling someone's situation, and thus you're able to give a meaningful reaction. It builds trust and character amongst ourselves. Empathy diminishes isolation and strengthens interconnectedness.
Each post will be broken down into three sections, which are the three essential elements of empathy; Recognize, Relate, and React.
