Comments on: The Greatest Talent You Can Have http://mikemywords.com/2009/07/13/the-greatest-talent-you-can-have/ From the Brain of Mike McDowell Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:51:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: kevin http://mikemywords.com/2009/07/13/the-greatest-talent-you-can-have/#comment-812 Sat, 21 May 2011 05:45:55 +0000 http://mikemywords.com/?p=288#comment-812 I love what you wrote, but then again empathy can be considered as a curse. Yes, you are able to relate (or stand in their shoes) to what they feel but then again it depress you and sometimes there is a situation where you are stuck between two problems. Empathy can cause you to think more, and because of that you make regrettful mistakes. People say thinking is good, but having empathy is having doubts. But then again empathy is a nice talent to have, at the same time its a double edge sword. Empathy can help others but it can kill you.( then again if you are empathetic you dont mind the sacrifice)

I am glad you enjoyed the article. I think people highly underestimate the ability to connect with another human being and truly understand how they may be feeling. We could all use some more empathy.

It is very informative and true to the word. I believe that, I myself have a natural level of Empathy. And from a very young age i was able to understand peoples emotion and somewhat ‘predict’, in a sense someone’s mental state of mind.

I have Cerebral Palsy, which I have had from birth, and in a sense I believe that this has something to do with my ability to be Empathetic towards others. The belief that I wasn’t necessarily Physically there for a person, but more so mentally and Emotionally supporting a person.

In some people Empathy is a part of someone’s genetic makeup.

All in all a very good blog, many thanks and appreciation to the publisher!
