Empathy. Do you have it? Do you know what it is? I'm willing to wager that maybe 80% of the American populus don't or care to know for that matter. Empathy is the ability to understand and share feelings. It's the ability to step outside yourself and understand what some else I'd going through. Humans are not born with empathy. We are naturally born selfish; it relates back to instinctual self-preservation. If you want to survive, you have to think of self. But in a society where interaction with others is needed, empathy is needed as well. So it must be taught by parents, grandparents, teachers and eventually peers. Unfortunately, our society, on this country, is not centered around aiding or understanding our fellow man. We are all suffering under the thumb of the corporate controlled Congress; who would have us all believe that the minorities, the immigrants and the terrorists are to blame for your lot in life. Meanwhile, they subjugate us with their morals, turning us into cogs in the machine rather than citizens. The key to this country is simple. Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. The Golden rule. Empathy. It's so simple. But it will take the further crumbling of our republic into eventual revolt and bloodshed, before empathy will re-root itself in our society. How many of us will have to flee our home for unknown refugees, like so many others all around the world. A dark scenario, I know, but highly probable when you examine the road we are travelling. So... Got empathy??? #gotempathy #goldenrule #progressive #comparativereasoning #savetherepublic #weareallpeople #weareallhumans #progressivesociety
