“Empathy is a crucial element of true happiness”
— Alain de Botton
Simplified Meaning:
When people really understand and share the feelings of others, it makes their own lives happier. Imagine you have a friend who's feeling sad. If you listen to them, show you care, and try to understand their sadness, you can help them feel better. This connection makes both of you feel good. Empathy helps us build strong relationships and creates a sense of community, making everyone involved feel supported and valued. By being kind and understanding to others, we also find joy and purpose in our own lives. So, learning to be empathetic can make the world nicer for everyone and make your life happier and more fulfilling.
