A little empathy never hurt anyone

Having empathy for others does not make you better or worse, it proves that you have emotional intelligence and respect for others

São Leopoldo, August 25, by Fernando Nunes — We are increasingly selfish, we lack empathy with others. Except mine and the rest that run after, I listen to my music loud because I don’t have a small child. In other words, the troubled ones leave.

Why do we become that kind of person? Who truly believes he’s so special that the world will revolve around his belly button and that’s okay. In other words, were we raised with the illusion of being so special that we don’t care about others? Or else, do we really believe that the troubled ones should leave? Stay with us, here at Fer Nunes and let’s chat about empathy. It won’t hurt, believe me.

And far fewer adverse effects. You can even avoid an ulcer or even gastritis in the future. In the same way, when you manage to put yourself in the other person’s shoes, it is a sign that there really is rationality in your actions, one of the characteristics that differentiates us from other animals.

Now, it’s important to note that being empathetic is not being the court jester. On the contrary, it is not earning the stamp of anti-social or ignorant. You don’t need to hurt your principles, which are non-negotiable until first order. You may have heard the phrase that kindness begets kindness, as well as learning to be grateful for the things that happen in your life.

It really isn’t, nobody is. Even because, we would live in a boring and dull world, where we would end up being commanded and manipulated in an easier way. However, if you are a service provider my friend, it is good to see how you are treating your customers, because the law of return exists and does not fail.

It is very likely to be consistent with the way you serve and pay attention to those who hire your service. That is, if you work as a driver, for example, do not force the user of your service to listen to music at a high level. Also, not everyone is adept at your questionable musical taste. And here, the old maxim reigns, despite not always agreeing with it, “the customer is always right”.

The rules are there precisely to be followed, they are the ones that govern how we should behave, what we can or cannot do. As well as the laws to be applied when we do not behave according to the established regulations.

This is basic, something you learned in your house when you were little, whose hierarchy must be respected. And if you can’t empathize with others, chances are you can’t follow the basic rules either. It’s not the world that chases you.

In other words, when you start to be more empathetic, you also start to “regulate your own emotions”, says Andressa. In addition, it will facilitate your decision-making and reduce stress. Thus, the conflicts will be smaller, both internal and external, and when you least expect it, you will be in a virtuous circle.

Soon, you will be acting with emotional intelligence. Then, again, you will be ahead of the other animals, acting rationally. Instead of ranting around as if the world was created just to suit your wishes.

Note for life: It won’t be easy. It never will be, when it comes to real changes to your status quo, but it will be the most profound and most beneficial to you. Also, see the power an attitude can do in your world and in the people around you.

One step at a time, at first in a forced way. In a short time you will see that yesterday it was an attitude you did out of obligation, but now, it is spontaneous, like opening your eyes when you wake up.

You don’t start climbing from the top of the mountain. But try using empathy as the need for air to live. That way, your journey will be lighter, no matter how arduous it may be. You will be surprised with the result.
