Empathy: Why It’s Important & How to Practice It

BY SOFO ARCHON

The source of all problems that we experience in our divided and polarized world is that we don’t anymore feel connected with one another. We lack empathy for our fellow human beings, and this is having tremendous consequences: miscommunication, competition, and emotional alienation, to name a few.

But what exactly is empathy? The following animated video does a brilliant job in explaining what empathy is, why it’s so important and how to practice it for the benefit of ourselves and the world.
