Today's smile question: How has empathy changed your life?
Additional fun info: Elephants have been recorded comforting each other with their trunks during stressful times. They have also been seen baby sitting calves of other elephants when the calf has become separated or abandoned. Other animals that are plausibly empathetic are dogs, corvids, and chimps!
I’m autistic, so without empathy I probably would be completely isolated because I wouldn’t have the capacity to understand other people. But with it I have some form of comprehension of them, it’s still hard but having empathy makes it easier.
