Empathy

Empathy

Being able to relate to someone feelings and

thoughts. As,  if they where your very own.

But sadly we live in a detached, uncaring,  world.

That at times is so unfathomable to comprehend that

anyone could not empathizes with others in this vast

world.

I can understand it..Today , in this fast moving world no one cares about what others feel because of their actions..How much others get hurt that is just beyond their imagination at times and you know what many people say that I can understand you but very few among them actually understand you and actually care about you...Very true...
Keep on writing..

My mother and my counselor always told me my best trait was empathy, when I was as young as 12. As I've grown up, I've seen the utter beauty and horror of the emotion. For example, when a man kills another man, I feel bad for both of them. The man who lost his life, and the one that is imprisoned for life, and that is hard to cope with, relating with a murderer. But I'm so empathetic I don't have a choice, the emotion is a blessing and a curse. I feel the pain for everyone that goes around, regardless of context, which can be utterly horrifying at points. Regardless it's such an intriguing emotion, to feel what others feel, and you captured it greatly in this poem; well done.

Very true! Sometimes telling the other just scares them to death in what can be felt inside.

Welcome I have that gift I don't speak to anyone anymore in what is felt they do tend to see me as I am nuts anyways so no need to make it anymore worse.

Jon, please do not put yourself down. Or say negative things about you. You are a very worth while human being. With a good heart. And a thought filled mind and soul. Speak freely on here. And feel better for doing so. A new friend, ie me Dee.

"...detached, uncaring, world."
Your words are sad but true. Thank you for the reminder to look out side of myself.
Well done.

Thank you Effie. It is so true in this world. To care about oneself. And to not always put others before yourself. As self love is important more so.
