Empathy

Picture

Keeping it simple tonight folks. Empathy is a type of insight into the feelings of others. Through observation and interaction, one might not only become aware of another's feelings. One might move beyond awareness and begin to, in a limited fashion, begin to vicariously experience another's emotional state.

Now, this is not telepathy or some other paranormal phenomenon. We can use the same mechanism in order to become immersed in the emotions of a song or story.

Today was not the best day, however various people and K9's used empathy to understand that. Which led to kind words and poitive energy.

Today I am grateful for Empathy.

Just a Thought... #carryon

Today I'm grateful for Time. Time to read, time to reflect and time for me.

Nice! Adding extra time to a difficult situation allows for more choices and reduces the urgent nature of a crisis!
