What is empathy?
This is an ongoing discussion I have with many people. There is a weird idea that empathy is something that makes you good. In reality what it is is neither good nor bad. It&#x27;s the ability to put yourself in the emotional state of someone else to understand things not only from their rational point of view but from the point of view of them as humans with both irrational (emotional) and rational perspectives.<p>It can be used for good or bad not just good and it&#x27;s doesn&#x27;t mean that just because I can put myself in their position I agree with their pov (which many people will claim i.e. &quot;you have no empathy&quot;)
