Empathy can basically be defined as the ability to feel the emotions of others, or the ability to imagine what others are thinking and feeling. It is possible to see the ability of empathy in many emotions. It means being able to feel what someone who has lost a loved one or someone who has just given birth is going through at that moment. According to Merriam-Webster, empathy is defined in part as “the act of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and indirectly experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another.” While people can adapt to their own emotions, it can be difficult to achieve this harmony for the emotions of others. For people with high empathy, this situation is easier and they are able to feel the emotions of others. Empathic people do this by cognitively and emotionally perceiving an experience that someone else has experienced or observed. Empathy studies have revealed that empathetic people are more likely to show compassion and help others. According to the Greater Good Science Center, a research institute that studies psychology, sociology, and neuroscience, “Empathy is a building block of morality—following the Golden Rule helps people put themselves in someone else’s shoes.” It helps us understand their perspectives, needs, and intentions.” EI4FUTURE
