Empathy is an enormous part of being human. Learning how to be empathic in a conversation is not something you can do just because you're talking, they're talking. It's listening on your side and saying, i don't know how they're feeling. And for me, ah, and i struggle with this,. I wait, spend wait, too much time on my phone. But i do think it's a struggle worth having - without thatyou go through life like a cork on the ocean. Every politician wants us to have empathy; everybody's talking about it. So were we agreeing? We're just saying different things in somewhat different ways.
