What are you hungry for?
Are your needs met?
Is your voice heard?
Are you seen?
Who cares about you have to say?
Empathy is the ability to listen and understand the voice of others, even if the message does not concern you, does not benefit you, even if you cannot help. Empathy is supporting and validating another person’s voice, pain, or problem, whether or not you can feel, understand, or relate to it. Empathy de-centres ego and re-centres humanity.
Problems become less burdensome when more people become part of the solution.

Empathy allows hope. Empathy is light and yet a powerful gesture.
