Quote: "The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy." --- Meryl Streep Empathy? Compassion? Sympathy? Aren't they all the same? No, not at all. According to Motivational speaker, Sara Schairer, there is a distinct difference. Empathy means that you feel
what a person is feeling. Sympathy means you can understand what the person is feeling. Compassion is the willingness to relieve the
suffering of another. Hmm... there is more to learn about these emotions. In fact I thought I would add a link to the article for additional understanding. There are many good articles about this topic, , so take a look around the net if you need some additional information. Hope you have a beautiful day today and weekend. Take care and share love and blessings today, Marlene The url for the picture: |
