It definitely is a circle, it works both ways.<br /><br />Hi Teri, Yes, a kind and caring person does radiate a good presence that is "just there" I agree. But there's also those times when someone really steps up and goes that extra mile to be helpful and kind. Memorable. I've tried to do that myself and I've had people return the favor over the years, many times.<br /><br />Hi Dianne, Absolutely! Isn't it great?<br /><br />Have a wonderful week and thanks for your thoughtful comments. Always appreciated, GGeraldine https://www.blogger.com/profile/07410019941984295767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684485886060350181.post-24073337197523977732011-11-21T04:32:04.113-08:002011-11-21T04:32:04.113-08:00it's a wonderful feeling when someone "ge...it's a wonderful feeling when someone "gets you"Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684485886060350181.post-25776493397561630012011-11-20T17:58:28.413-08:002011-11-20T17:58:28.413-08:00One thing about empathy we can feel it without eve...One thing about empathy we can feel it without even trying. It's just there when we see it and feel it.

Over the years, interacting with young children along the way, it was very obvious most times, which ones had been taught well, in this regard. It's touching to see empathy and kindness at work, when it comes to children in particular. I'm glad you enjoyed the post.<br /><br />Hi Joe, I always think of white flowers and peace going together. I'm glad you enjoyed this post too.<br /><br />Hi Rumpy, Just me writing this time. Cheddar is taking a day off to regroup. He's got some more reviews in the works, can be tiring!!! LOL<br /><br />Hi Ed, You've brought up a great point here. Empathy, real empathy is all about a "serious connection" between people. Or people and animals of all kinds too. It is powerful when it's real, that I know for sure.<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful week, GGeraldine https://www.blogger.com/profile/07410019941984295767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684485886060350181.post-37623730039733356352011-11-20T09:47:35.538-08:002011-11-20T09:47:35.538-08:00empathy is a powerful tool. that doesn't mean ...empathy is a powerful tool. that doesn't mean someone can necessarily use empathy, though someone undoubtedly could. but to actually be empathetic means to make a serious connection and that does have staying power in my experience.Ed Pilollahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09139531369534586168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684485886060350181.post-86060581843976762832011-11-20T09:36:37.280-08:002011-11-20T09:36:37.280-08:00Hi! *waves* Great post you guys!Hi! *waves* Great post you guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684485886060350181.post-62822532632312300902011-11-20T09:32:07.183-08:002011-11-20T09:32:07.183-08:00Thanks for sharing the difference between empathy ...Thanks for sharing the difference between empathy and sympathy.

The photo is beautiful.<br />And Empathy is a very good word.<br />When teaching young children (2 year olds), where I work at the daycare, that is my number 1 consideration. What I am always most concerned with is helping the children try to feel for their friends.<br />I know my life has always turned around for the better when a wise and kind person has shown understanding.<br />Thanks for this great word, and post!<br />Have a great week!<br />BrendaMullin Avenue Workshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489785153205822301noreply@blogger.com
