Empathy is taking the time to understand the path that someone else has walked.
-- Mrs Murphy, Idaho Falls teacher
What might be hidden here is the observation that it takes time to do this. We so often feel that we don't have the time to truly do this well. Why is that? Time is really all we do have. Perhaps, it would be helpful to consider what is it that I'm letting compete for my sense of time.
Besides this being just good theory, what can I do more specifically empathy-wise for someone else? For myself?
