Happy Wednesday🌟 An Empathetic Heart♥️... Empathy is a place of understanding ,not a means of control, where the soul of a man is free to experience vulnerability without critique or judgement. It is the empathetic tool that empowers us to embrace another in the brokenness of the soul. It is neither pretentious nor assuming, but full of Wisdom & Grace; seeking rather to listen to understand versus being understood. It does not project the sum of the experiences that birthed it onto another, nor in contrast does it cheapen the experiences of another through vain competition & rivalry. Empathy is neither good nor bad, happy nor sad, but perhaps is one of the most humble & pure expressions of Love. In Boldness with Wisdom it acknowledges the similarities of both journeys while remaining staunchly aware that the journeys themselves are as unique & individualistic as the traveler(s) experiencing it. Empathy, then, is a product of power, not pity, & a vehicle of service, not solitude. Therefore, let us empathize as those having received not only empathy, but enlightenment with it. ~SonjaLisa #lovelightlife (at Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnV626nFwv2dWZ3AXX8TXxBgJ4JaXDboQOT3kU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cmqn8yxmxtca
