Empathy is our tool...

Empathy is now-a-days the most important feeling which we look forward to at every step and in all stages.

Empathy words used to be associated only with the hospitality field and are usually ignored in day-to-day life. But in this era when we have entered into a phase when pandemic as well as global warming has given a major hit to the Human Race. Only a fact that Empathy is a Human Feeling , which has kept us connected with each other in all aspects and as a result we are looking forward to fighting this pandemic as well as see into the factors which we all together rectify to frame a new world.

Empathy feeling used to be a tool in previous era to get connected in a family i.e. joint families, is the right example; then came the middle era when empathy played a vital role in connecting old times thoughts to be connected with new generation’s thought process because the feel of empathy remains the same in each phase. ( in minimizing the gap between the generations and to help in understanding each other.)

Empathy now-a-days is defined as a trivial gesture done by anyone to help. If for even once anyone has at least given a hand of help in respect to help you eat your food when you are sick or if you rendered help to carry the heavy bags of the old lady in the market

Empathy is most accurately defined in an area of healthcare, where a nurse has the highest position in this respect. Nursing profession is a great example to society that how one’s response to another's pain or need can lead to satisfaction or contentment.

Empathy not only heals a person from outside but also affects a person’s heart and(those effects are everlasting) that too its effects are long lasting. Now herewith, I will share real incidents of empathy how it is used as a tool to relieve a female who has just bear a child , few minutes later the female is in a state when she is in need of food intake wherein a person who is in her next contact is Nurse and with her empathetic touch she makes her calm and lend few minutes by the time food being ordered and prepared and made available and the journey of bearing a child with so much of labor and pain results in happiness when she receives food.

Empathy words are even more stronger than gestures as a person who is in pain and tears, can be pacified by soothing words like “I can feel the pain you feel ; I understand how you feel, I wish you did not have to go through that.”

Empathetic gestures have healing power both for the listener and person being heard. People who carry empathetic gestures explore the heart, not just the head.

Empathy gestures are small but challenging, which pushes oneself to do something for someone outside their comfort zone just to make others feel special, secure or better. Empathy is just not a tool to comfort someone but a unique ability to feel into the feelings of people around them.

Empathy does not have any age bar. It is just a practice which usually ease someone by understanding their situation /perceptions and feeling from their point of view

I have chosen empathy as my topic not only to express my gratitude to the people who carry this feeling but to make people understand that it is all about taking a step ahead to save this MANKIND.

As I am in the field of healthcare, I can easily connect to the impact of empathy where it’s been delivered by a general worker or nurse or doctor or even by a floor manager. An empathetic gesture not only releases the stress of one’s “for” whom the action is done for but also gives a feeling of being social and near to God’s grace for the one “from” whom it’s been put in action.

Empathy word usually portrait a feeling for others being in their place but do ever given a thought that it is a give and take process wherein in this society where we are losing our ethics culture values and over it the feeling of being responsible for each and every action we are doing we have certain limits but an act done instantly with a feeling to help other realizing his or her pain only comes back to you which we name it as KARMA and that lend you a hand of help when actually you need a “hand of help” in need .
