Empathy Poem by Rajesh Thankappan

Empathy

Rating: 4.0


I live under your skin
You too live under mine,
For human hopes and emotion
Under our skin do rhyme.

So let me mourn your loss
While you partake in happiness mine,
For how sweet it is to hear the temple bell
When they do together chime.

We breathe in the same air
We live in the same time,
So why not we share our togetherness
And lead a life sublime?

Empathy, a trait which define us, humanity. I was attracted to read this poem the soon I saw its title. Nothing is more solacing, than having someone with whom we can share the burdens of life. I very much enjoyed reading it.

Wonderful thoughts on human empathy. Empathy is a gift from God. We need to develop it so that we are more receptive to the world. Empathy unites. Thanks.
