Empathy

"If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel"

Above line was quoted from The Dash by Linda Ellis. A stanza in the poem that means a lot as you interact with other people. Most of the time, we tend to forget putting ourselves in other's shoes. Losing empathy, losing the real sense of connection.

There is more in being harmonious relationship to others than doing the ultimate side jokes and pranks in titter-chatter which are mostly the cases these days. There is more in maintaining human nature's courteousness... for this is a measurement of greatness, on how you have treated the lesser man through love and courtesy.
