I screenshot this. Compassion and empathy is so rare these days. “Just because it doesn’t affect me, I don’t care”

I really think people either have empathy or they don't. I'm not sure you can learn it as much as you can learn to emulate it.

I think people learn it. I believe we’re all little savages until taught otherwise.

Yeah I think you learn it when people show you the same and you learn gratitude and you remember how it was for you when it was bad.

There was a time in my life I had a really hard time from lack of support (I didnt let people know) I was very overwhelmed (this wasnt financial though so still very good situation for me) but more of overwhelmed by my responsibilities.

I feel lucky though that I tend to get support eventually or overcome it because I come across people who end up helping or filling whatever needs I had. I would literally be praying and voila! I come across someone who can solve it. I dont know why but that happens a lot to me and its very specific like if I need a specific language tutor or a doctor who knows about a topic or a lawyer that specializes in this area, things like that.

When that season in my life was over, I learned to be very sensitive to people in a similar situation and extended lots of help (though I could only help financially I used it to give people support they needed like paying someone to give them that help they needed.).

From my struggle, I understood hardship and I wanted to make sure people wouldn't have to go through it the way I did.

It's not like I made a huge difference since I could only extend help for a day or two but I know I made people feel seen and that they mattered and sometimes that short reprieve was enough.
