Having empathy is feeling what others feel.
It is listening carefully to the cries of the world.
It is to face the bull, even if it is not our bullfight.
It is allowing yourself to suffer when another suffers or laughing happily when another laughs.
It is to soften with tenderness and fear with fears.
Get wet with the tears of humans.
Stop talking and learn to listen to them.
So you will learn their languages.
And you will be able to believe from their creeds.
Get rid of so much selfishness at once.
Let your heart thump with a more universal echo.
Extend, just extend your borders.
And you will discover many secrets.
Everyone is looking for a kind ear that listens without prejudice.
A respectful and compassionate friend who is not afraid of sorrows.
Empathy is the strategy of great healers.
Without empathy there is no compassion.
Without compassion there is no link.
Without bond there is no healing.
Every person keeps a great treasure, in the sunken part of your ship.
Enter that forbidden zone and cut the chains.
Reduce distances.
Try to feel what others feel.
Discard selfishness, which is nothing but fear in disguise.
Go down to the bottom, leave the surface.
Reduce the distances between you and your peers.
