Empathy and compassion

Empathy and compassion are important skills for me. I think that these skills are important because we can use them to take care of the others. For example, in my life, I like to help the others. I need to be empathic and have compassion for others. One day, I tried to do active listening to help the others. By doing that, I learned to be non-judgmental. It helped me to feel better in life because I know that what I am doing can change the world. On 7 cups, we change the world one chat at the time. Also, members can have a fast service to be listened to without judgment. I also think that empathy and compassion can help to make you friends. For example, the people you will help with anything will like what you did for him/her. So, these people will like you in return. You will probably have more friends if you take the time to listen to others or do anything else. Everybody can change the world. In my life, I know that I can have compassion for others. When my mom is angry, she always tells me that I do not have compassion and empathy for others. It happens just because I did not want to help my father because I was not able to take up the stationary bike. I just told her the number of hours of active listening I do and that I have compassion for others. I think that even if someone tells you that you are not empathic or that you are not able to help others because of your disability, you can always prove the opposite.  

Now it is your turn to think: 

1- What do you do in life to help the others? 

2-What do you bring to others by helping them?  

3- If you do not help the others, how does the world will be changed?

@patientShell1003 I really enjoyed reading your post. I believe people tend to make assumptions and judgements about us based on what they may or may not see, and it just isn't right. In your case, your mom thinks you lack certain qualities just because you did not get around to helping your dad with something. While that may be her opinion, I'm glad you did not let it color your world. Deep down, you know the type of person you are. You know what you do to help others and you know that you are making a difference. ♡ I appreciate kind hearted people like you who choose to help others in a very important way. Keep being amazing and changing the world. I'm proud of you!
