Healthy Empathy
I believe empathy is a human duty and something our basic goodness encourages us to embrace. Healthy empathy can serve as a call to action, not to alleviate personal discomfort, but as a great blessing to reduce the suffering of the world.
Empathy is a skill. However, it can sometimes get twisted. When empathy divides into “us vs. them” and confines itself within personal boundaries, it can no longer be considered “healthy empathy.” Only on a foundation of goodness and positive thoughts, with common sense and a balanced perspective, can the ability to empathize grow healthily.
empathy, goodness, balance
