Empathy is the ability we all have to share, understand and care about others. It’s also a skill necessary to develop and use in the world in which we live. 

It’s not only necessary to develop it because it allows us to have better relationships with people, but it’s also a tool that strengthens the social structure by promoting tolerance, generosity, and respect, which are principles that are urgent to promote in order to eliminate different social and global barriers.

Sometimes it seems that empathy is a topic with little relevance. However, it is empathy that allows us to connect and to experience reality. To share events and moments that mark history. Sometimes we forget to turn and look at the other person, to consider what is happening to him, what he is experiencing. Have you ever questioned how empathic you are? Ask yourself that question and analyze your daily life, where your thoughts are, where your emotions and feelings go. 

Why is empathy important?

1. It allows you to connect with emotions and experience life in a deeper way
2. It helps you to be more objective and fair to yourself and others
3. Stimulates your constant learning 
4. Improves your self-esteem and confidence
5. Helps you consolidate personal and professional relationships that benefit your development and growth

Now that you know this, do you think empathy could change the world? We think so. Because by being more empathic we are more respectful, more tolerant, more grateful, more generous, less judgmental. The world has many scars that perhaps empathy could cure. Scars that separate individuals in societies, provoke attacks, violence, homicides, inequalities. A more empathic world would be a fairer world, don’t you think?
