On empathy

Something has caught my eye lately: while the number of cases of violence is increasing in the world, I also see a new feeling emerge in many people here.

I mean empathy, which is nothing more than the psychological ability to feel what someone else would feel if he were in the same situation he was in, involves trying to understand feelings and emotions, trying to experience objectively and rationally what another individual in other words, put himself in the other person’s place and act as we would like him to do with us.

  • I was impressed by the number of people.
  • Texts.
  • Pages.
  • Spreading this concept.
  • Which I admire and find wonderful!Giving and doing good brings us great satisfaction from the duty fulfilled.
  • To know that even if it is little.
  • Any help and sharing applies to the evolution of the world.
  • Of the people around us.
  • And especially of ourselves.

But have you ever stopped to think that there are many people out there, I include myself in this group, which has an absurd difficulty in being receptive to the empathy of others?How many people do you know who are always willing to help at any time, but who, in their own pain, prefer to solve everything themselves?I don’t know if out of pride, vanity or superhero syndrome, these people tend to shut up and retract frequently, isolate themselves and get away from the world while their wounds heal.

For a while I admired people like this, I mistakenly saw extraordinary strength in them, but today, after some experiments, I see that they are beings as sensitive and fragile as those who cry and put their mouths on the trombone, opening their pains everywhere. I still wonder why some people are so reluctant to receive affection, while they get so much.

I think we need a little humility to admit that we are not perfect, that despite all our strength, an hour we will need a shoulder to cry, a hand to calm down and a hug that will make us feel that everything will be fine. Good in the end. We must be empathetic not only to others, but also to ourselves. Knowing how to receive love is as important as knowing how to give it to those who need it.
