Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else’s place – to feel their feelings, to be in
their situation, to see through their eyes. If we are capable of empathy, we can bond with
those who are suffering, rejoice in another’s love, feel pleasure at someone else’s triumph,
and understand a friend’s anger and a stranger’s grief. It is a trait that, when mastered and
correctly used, can help bring us further toward the future. Those lacking empathy cannot
spiritually evolve. .....We cannot transform negativity into the positive without empathy,
and we cannot truly understand empathy without experiencing it in our present life, in our
past and in our future.
