empathy

One of the reasons for the rise in abnormalities everywhere is an increasing tendency to be self-centred.People are forgetting that 'no man is an island' and in the process becoming de-humanized -emotionless creatures.
Empathy is the ability to relate to another's emotional needs-pain,sorrow,sadness,depression and unhappiness.Undoubtedly it leads to much distress for the person who is considerate but eventually it makes him stronger and aware.

In the present times,it has become extremely difficult to sustain relationships because people have forgotten the 'art of living' and accepted unhappiness and conflict to be a part of life.Such a situation is responsible for most of the social problems in the world today.Sharing,communicating,kindness and cheerfulness are absolutely vital ingredients of a happy balanced life.
