Empathise, instead.

It’s easy to shout, to be angry, to be frustrated.

It’s easy to consider the other person as stubborn, as not so intelligent, as someone who doesn’t listen.

What’s hard is empathy.

To actually put yourself in the shoes of the other person and see the world as they see it.

It requires emotional labour to be empathetic, it requires us to keep our emotions aside and feel someone else’s emotions.

Most people can’t do this, but then again, we are not most people.

We are creatives. We are generous. We will go where others won’t.
