Experiment with Empathy
April 25, 2011 Leave a commentWe are wired for connection. You give us the internet and we turn it into the largest web of connections that has ever existed. Each of us has mirror neurons, “neurons that mirror the behavior of another, as though the observer were itself acting.” Empathy is our highest capacity – the vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another. Our highest levels of development come with a heightened capacity to see and experience truth in other perspectives and at other levels.
Sam Richards taps our capacity for empathy as he invites us to take a closer look into current affairs.
