Do we empathize?
Article written by Nazia Tabasum A
Every single soul in this world need someone to share their feelings, fears, pains, emotions and likings. Words can break or can make someone’s heart.
“Empathy”, is an art. We may have seen few people, who used to complain often about something that’s bothering them to everyone they meet.
Sometime, we feel frustrated seeing those kind of persons. But we fail to understand and take their behaviour as annoying. They don’t seek us for their problem’s solutions. All they need is our genuine attention and dedicated time to listen to their talks.
Some may listen to them partially, where few tend to avoid. Lending out our ears to someone is also a random act of kindness. All we need is patience and few positive words from our end.
More than half the population of the world are batteling severe depression.
Loneliness is found as a major cause. Especially, youngsters and aged people are affected badly due to this negative emotion. This even becomes as a cause to end up their life.
Here are few other points that can help to understand empathy in a better way
• Listening is the golden key of empathy
• Sympathy soothes temporarily, whereas, Empathy heals permanently
• Compassion is the core of empathy
• It also helps a person to take a better decision, since ample amount of attention is given to them by the other person genuinely.
We feel sorry and show our sympathy to someone,who is going through tough times. But the real way to support them is by understanding their situation and giving them the compassion.
That kind of “empathy”, can indeed help the broken hearts to heal deeply and can even motivate to come out of those hard times.
