empathy

I had a dream that I was in someone else__ shoes for once_they were the wrong size.

That's the thing about empathy__ven people with an abundance of it can run out.

We develop more empathy, when we realise that we are all ultimately looking for the same things - love, peace and acceptance.

Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.

A writer is like a tuning fork: We respond when we__e struck by something. The thing is to pay attention, to be ready for radical empathy. If we empty ourselves of ourselves we__l be able to vibrate in synchrony with something deep and powerful. If we__e lucky we__l transmit a strong pure note, one that isn__ ours, but which passes through us. If we__e lucky, it will be a note that reverberates and expands, one that other people will hear and understand.

Accustom yourself not to be disregarding of what someone else has to say: as far as possible enter into the mind of the speaker.

I thought it would teach them a thing or two about empathy, and friendship, and loyalty. As it turns out, Jack Will didn't need to learn any of these virtues- he already had them in abundance.

Once you take the time to consider the other person's perspective, you will become sympathetic to his feel ins and ideas. You will be able to authentically and honestly say, "I don't blame you for feeling as you do. If I were in your position, I would feel just as you do.

We learn to become more empathic when we slow down, become present, and are fully committed to understanding another person__ uniqueness.

Writing complex characters is the penultimate exercise in empathy.

I think if God came down and gave us all His version of Empathy then all the world__ problems would surely become a thing of the past.

We make ourselves large or small, here or there, in our empathies.

We like who we become in response to injustice: it makes it easy to choose a side. Our capacity to care, to get angry, is called forth like some muscle we weren't entirely aware we had.

Empathy Is An Endangered Instinct

I'm a citizen of the republic of empathy.

The agony of the empath is feeling their pain but being unable to save them from it.

Empathy is not something we offer to our customers or our employees from nine to five... (it) is... "a second by second, minute by minute service that [we] owe to everyone if [we] want to call [ourselves] a leader.

My mother always tells me that anyone who gets enjoyment from other people's misery will eventually get the greatest discomfort from his or her own miseries.
