Description
Seek Yourself First
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of someone else, without necessarily agreeing with them. It is not about mirroring or matching emotions, but about truly connecting with another person's perspective. The misunderstanding of empathy has led to a lack of effective communication and judgment in society. Empathy is crucial for the development of a global culture that promotes understanding, kindness, and change. It is important to balance understanding with sharing feelings and offering solutions. The exploration of both masculine and feminine thinking can enhance communication and empathy.
