Empathy; do we need it? The world is a crazy place. Constantly at odds, rarely connected. We push, we pull. We say we’re sorry, but do we mean it? Do we feel it? Empathy is something that connects us all. It is the ability to put ourselves in the mindset of another. To feel with them, instead of against, or sometimes even worse, on the sidelines. Now more than ever, empathy is something that must be talked about. We cannot hide behind empty empathy when the bridge to a better world relies so heavily on it. In this speech, Eileen talks about the power of empathy. From both its core of what empathy is to the demand for it in regard to current events.
