Hello everyone, it with great pleasure to be a part of this community and this happens to be my first post here, and I would love to share my idea on this interesting topic Empathy
As a young person growing up, my parents did teach me the importance of empathy especially among my siblings I understood that respect is a key cornerstone in creating a relationship between people and making people listen to you in the pursuit of constructive change in the society. A shocking lesson I learnt was when I realized that when one is able to share the feelings of the other person and accept him or her it brings about harmony.
personally, I realized that empathy was the best way to build trust between individuals. The way of perceiving other people’s opinion was one of the primary ways to establish clear and safe environment to share ideas and information. This not only helped me to enhance the relationships but also helped me to learn the value of different feelings and the fact every people is different.
As I was becoming a teenager, I noticed the importance of empathy in more extensive sense in my community. I was also able to understand people and their challenges and struggles in order to change, collaborate or lead in finding solutions to problems or be a change advocate for social justice. This positive attitude was the key to establishing unity and awareness, leading to the society’s positive change, which incorporates everyone’s words and opinions.
Some of the sources of inspiration were the civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks to mention but a few, in that they advocated for equality rights for the African Americans mainly in the United States through the power of empathy. Their social skills and willingness to fight for the oppressed as well as empower willingly empowered the weak and vulnerable are advocacy for empathy.
In today’s world, there is division and polarity, but for me, there is a hope that empathy is especially relevant in this world. When we listen to people, try to empathize with those who are different from us and protect their rights, we increase the quality of communication between people and make the world a better place.
In the light of the evidence, I stand convinced that empathy may serve as positive force in improving people’s connection and effecting change in order to build a better future for ourselves and for our fellows. We should always keep on developing empathy as part of our lifestyle and be instrument towards the creation of a good impact.
