Key Quotes:
"To have empathy means that you can look at a person, place, thing or experience, and you can pick up the mood. You can understand what they're feeling. You can understand what they're experiencing. You know it cognitively and intellectually, but you also feel it in your soul. You feel it in your heart and in your emotions."
"The mark of a true empath is that you understand the person that people say you should least want to."
"Empathy allows individuals to see the underlying emotions and motivations behind actions, which can lead to better understanding and healing."
"Empathy is not a curse but a blessing when used correctly."
"If you are still unclear about how to use empathy, take a person that you least want to understand and try to look at life through their eyes."
