Empathy does not make us soft. Empathy makes us fully human. When we can understand those that feel very differently than we do, they become more human in our eyes.
It is very easy to be judgmental. It takes great effort and empathy to seek to know and understand. We can never know the history and challenges of those whose wounds we do not understand.
We have all been broken. We all will fall and fail, again and again. Empathy says “judge not lest ye be judged.”
