RE: Psychology Addict # 47 | Putting Ourselves in Other’s Shoes
Didn’t they feel for the men and women that were caught up in the catastrophe?
How human :( And they'll feel that it does not concern them.
There's a particular adage here that says:
if dem kari pesin corpse, ein go dey like firewood. - Meaning: (If someone else's corpse is being carried, to the onlookers, it would only appear to be a bunch of wood)
Sometimes we fail to put ourselves in other people's shoes, and we don't get to have a feeling of what they're feeling. "What if we're the ones directly involved, would we have found it humorous if we're treated that way?"
If we do feel the same way as they do, then we'd be more empathetic and not just sympathetic. If we all learn this, then the world would be a better place for all of us.
Nice piece as usual Abbey.
Resteemed. Much love from here. And don't forget today's hangout 😃😃
Sammi 😍
Thank you for coming around again to share your thoughts and reflections with me my dear :) The quote you wrote here says it all. It is indeed a bland truth, which invites us all to analyse how the world is really like.
As for tonight's hangout (it makes me smile just to think about it) I am afraid is not going to be possible. But, I am going to get myself organised to take part in one sooner than later! 😃
I will be thinking of you guys.
😘
