What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy, broadly speaking, is something that many associate with what is sometimes called "humanity." It's a trait that largely determines how well an individual can integrate into large and small groups in human society. It is a part of neurotypical human behavior, and it has been shown to exist within other species as well. However, when considering empathy, it is not often times presented as a part of the human body, but a way to connect to others; to share an experience where the separation between what we think of as our self and everything else becomes thinner. When one considers the myriad of conflicts that humans are trying to overcome in history at the moment of this writing, it seems to the author that a lack of empathy is at the root of most if not all instances.
