Empathy

Do you feel Empathy for Folks you have never heard of, and, do you think they would reciprocate, it they were able to?

Re: Empathy

You should be able to care about people without wondering if they would do the same for you.

Paul you must have heard of them or they wouldn't exist

Do you mean people you have heard about but don't know personally.

Spose, at times, a person is a story teller, then, at other times a listener, the result is how both times "Stack Up".

Re: Empathy

Yes I feel empathy when I hear of sad things happening to people , I think how awful it must be for them even though I am not involved .

Re: Empathy

Yes I can feel empathy for people I've never met, I see things happening and think what if that was my family how would I want people to react ? I think it's the humane way to look at the world.

Re: Empathy

Sometimes but not always. Sometimes I would just like to give someone a hug but without getting involved.
