EMPATHY

EMPATHY – it is like emotional telepathy.

It happens when you sense the attitude of what someone else is feeling,
You imagine their experience and the mood with which they’re dealing.

It gets mistaken for its brother… the reaction known as sympathy,
That’s when you’re moved by another to feel compassion with sincerity.

However, EMPATHY truly understands a person’s situation,
Or endeavour with its beauty, burdens and frustration.

There are three kinds of it from Science’s perspective,
Which defines them as cognitive, somatic, and affective.

It’s said noble human behaviour has an empathetic origin,
Such as assisting stigmatized strangers just like the Good Samaritan.

For seeing a foreigner’s reality,
Is the cornerstone of morality.

High levels of it help you function well in society,
It revels in heartfelt deduction with notoriety.

It is a key ingredient of successful connections,
It can see immediate tensions and stressful deflections.

A lack of it indicates a personality disorder,
The knack of it often creates a tonality of order.

It is at the root of… ‘I feel your pain’,
It is absolute and real in your brain.

It is not static; it’s more than innate,
It’s a habit; a rapport we can cultivate.

You might be going through something right now so to grow its scope,
Hold tight, knowing you are gaining insight, so to bestow His hope.

EMPATHY will lead the way,
Giving gravity to the words you say.

I believe, with all fairness, you’ve advanced your degree,
To perceive the awareness of enhanced EMPATHY.
