- What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?
Empathy has always played a large and important role in my life, as interpersonal relationships lie at the heart of my happiness and existence. By attempting to understand what other people think and how they feel - and really listening to what they have to say - it allows me to feel a shared sense of humanity. I think there's a positive, symbiotic relationship between the internal and external effects of practicing empathetic thinking and behavior; when we care about how other people feels, it in turn makes them feel listened to and valued. I also allows ourselves to feel a greater sense of kinship and gratitide towards mankind, in turn projecting that sentiment outwards and imbuing that empathetic feeling in others.
