i was just thinking about empathy, and have come to the conclusion that its actually very hard to truly empathise with people. most of the time we think we understand a certain person’s situation and say that we can empathise but in actual fact i think a lot of the time we sympathise more. unless the factors that triggered the situation are uncannily similar its inaccurate to say we can empathise with that someone. i may be wrong, or have perhaps missed out something in my thought process. just my two cents worth.
walking can be quite therapeutic.
people like rewards/incentives/feelings of achievement but we dont really like to work for it. a nice analogy would be i dont like to rehearse a parade repeatedly but i’d like to be seen marching in one. ha.
