Empathy is stepping into shoes of the front person and actually feeling the pain and agony of the person.

Empathy is when you know that there is someone by your side who will understand your feelings and help you overcome them.

The opposite of Anger is not Calmness but Empathy.

We feel like songwriting is an experiment in empathy eg: Taylor Swift

We know one is empathetic when they give your trouble a solution, listens to all your words which is hard in the modern world because we do not have time and patience to hear others suffering

Pity can be a double edged sword when you are in a wheelchair. On the one hand, disabled people generally want to be treated as any other member of society. But then again, they also would like society in general to have a little more consideration when dealing with a disabled person. Of course, there is a very fine line between being pitied and being condescended to. This is a problem everyone in a wheelchair would of had experience of at least one time or another. This is not generally intentional, but more a result of the abled bodied person not knowing how to deal with someone in a wheelchair. This should be remembered, and to a certain degree accounted for, but if a discussion does develop, it will soon become apparent that the disabled are no different to abled bodied people. In general though, most abled bodied people who do have have sympathy towards a wheelchair user, are only trying to help, and although this can get annoying sometimes, it should always be remembered, that one day, you may just need this help which is offered.

In today's world.... we not only need to understand each others problems but putting yourself into his /her shoes is very important. Not that comforting is bad but definitely it is not enough. We need to feel each others problems and be in their shoes so as to offer different solutions to solve problems.

" EMPATHY is seeing with the eyes of another;

listening with the ears of another and ;

feeling with the heart of another."

Empathy is not just useful as a tool to use when someone is in distress, it does have wider uses. For example , in our work and personal life we will meet many people with differing views and perspectives on life. People may express political or religious views that differ from our own and which may lead to barriers in communication. The use of empathetic dialogue can serve to prevent such barriers.

Elderly people are the senior citizens of our society. Instead of showing sympathy to them, we can :-
-> Comfort them by knowing their emotions and hardships.

-> Spending time with them instead of wasting our time with technology.

-> Avoid old age homes and stay with them.

->Help the old people when you see them around.(i.e Help them cross the road)

->Show respect through manners that acknowledge the greater breadth of wisdom and life experience of each older person

Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another,

Listening withthe ears of another , and feeling with the heart of another

Empathy for others begins with empathy for one's own pain. If one refuses to acknowledge the hurt within or beats one's self up relentlessly for hurting, then defense mechanisms take over, the most destructive of which is scapegoating. Those who use scapegoating as a defense against dealing with their own pain can do great damage to others and to themselves.

There's a beautiful poem I have found I would love share

Empathy

Can I see another's woe,

And not be in sorrow too?

Can I see another's grief,

And not seek for kind relief?

Can I see a falling tear,

And not feel my sorrow's share?

Can a father see his childWeep,

nor be with sorrow filled?

Can a mother sit and hear,

An infant groan, an infant fear?

No, no! never can it be!

Never, never can it be!

--William Blake
