SELF-PEACE DEVELOPMENT COURSE – THE AWAKENING (DAY 5)
*Opinion
The fifth day, of course, was on Empathy by Anita Nowak, a lecture from TEDx Montreal Women (The power of empathy). Empathy is the power of understanding other person’s feelings, views from their point of view rather than yours. According to St. Francis of Assisi:
“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle”
Indeed, this world needs the empathetic people who can understand, communicate and connect with the people around him to be kind and supportive of them. With a little empathy, one can understand and share other person’s deep emotions that need to be expressed out. Being sympathetic towards the bruised people would make a huge difference in their mundane work and will leave an affirmative mark on their brain that would drastically change their life, Forever!
