Empathy Desperately Needed

We saw unspeakable acts. We shared grief, rage, and pangs of hopelessness.
People retreated to their political camps and shrouded themselves in like-minded crowds.
But how many of us actually put ourselves in another’s shoes? Did we feel the pain others felt? Did we try and imagine and experience what they must be going through?
Unfortunately, these days our minds are more closed than ever. Blame it on social media and human nature to cocoon ourselves in the comfort of those who share our points of view.
But until we can truly try and feel what others are going through, until we can comprehend and appreciate their emotions, we are doomed to stay the same.
And after a week like the one past, that’s tragic.
Remember what a wise man said in 1858, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
