Empathy: An Essential Quality of Life

 Life is a big challenge for us. So many qualities are required for a successful life like pray, hard work, love, patience, consistency and being empathetic. Empathy: An Essential Quality of Life, means trying to feel by placing oneself into another’s place. It really helps us in making our lives from good to best.

 

Life is a big blessing of our creator. It is very precious and it has no replacement anywhere. So we must take care of it by doing some efforts and struggling consciously. It can be done by making our lives better by doing efforts in a positive direction. Another way to have a good life is by making others’ lives better.

 

In our society, we see people are facing so many problems. Some of these are due to economic problems or by health issues or due to natural disasters or by other’s attitudes. The issues we face due to natural disasters are problematic for us and disturb us a lot. With the passage of time, usually, we adjust with it. But, if our sufferings are due to other people’s attitudes and acts, then it will be more difficult for us to accept it.

 

So, it will be very beneficial for us to take care of our attitudes with others. If we can develop the quality of empathy in us, we will be in a better position not only to understand others feelings, we also can revise our life strategies. Empathy really works on a positive side. Research has shown that empathy makes people better managers and workers, and better family members and friends. It creates feelings of closeness with the people around us. We can better understand others’ scenarios and in this way, we can understand their feelings. This will help us to behave in a better and more positive way.

 

It is a fact that all people are not alike in having an empathic nature. Some people are more naturally empathetic than others. It includes three parts: the emotional centre perceives the feelings of others and the cognitive centre tries to understand why they feel that way and how we can be helpful to them, but there are easy, evidenced-based exercises that anyone can do to increase their empathy.

 

In role-play, an effective therapy used is psychology work on its basis. The patient or client was asked to play the role of the person; with whom he has some issue. In this way, he will be better able to understand the feelings and views of the other person. It will help to resolve the issue in an effective way.
