Quotes and Readings

The biggest deficit that we have in our society and in the world right now is an empathy deficit. We are in great need of people being able to stand in somebody else’s shoes and see the world through their eyes. - Barack Obama

If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. - Atticus Finch in Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird

Empathy - by Chris White

The ability to understand

and share feelings of another

The power to put an arm around

a Sister or a Brother

The act of being able to

be aware and sympathise

Being able to view the world anew

through another’s eyes

The chance to taste, to feel, to know

What strangers are thinking and seeing

To walk in someone else's shoes

To be a Human Being
