Empathy means listening with your heart, not just your ears. It’s the simple act of seeing the world through another person’s eyes. When you approach relationships with empathy, you create trust — a feeling that says, “I see you, I care, and I understand.” Even when you disagree, empathy helps you connect beyond words. It turns conflicts into conversations and misunderstandings into compassion. In the end, empathy doesn’t just strengthen relationships — it softens us as human beings.
