I found this years ago & it speaks to me in full voice. She speaks about empathy driving connection. I believe that. If we don't have empathy with one another, we cannot connect with each other.
Empathy is feeling with people. “Empathy is a choice,” she says, “and it’s a vulnerable choice because in order to connect with you, I have to connect with something in myself that knows that feeling.
Kiddos, Give people a break. Learn to recognize that their perspective is their truth. Learn to listen, people need to feel listened to and loved. Don't feel discouraged if you can't solve their pain, just be there. &let people be there for you.
