Quote by Marco M. Pardi

“Empathy is a common and even useful trait; but it can easily go to the extent of disabling the well-meaning helper. This is not to suggest that one attempt to become 'hardened;' rather... one might attempt to more clearly place the self within a total framework which allows one to say without guilt when he has had enough. The 'bleeding heart' who makes routine of this for everyone soon runs out of blood, even for himself. Each counselor must be careful to, first, accurately assess the needs and wishes of his own personal life before scheduling his time, thoughts, and emotions for other people." Marco M. Pardi, "Death: An Anthropological Perspective" 1977 University Press of America”

“Recognizing privilege is a healthy thing to do regardless of race or gender. It gives us access to empathy, and our nation could use that right now. Most of us have some form of privilege we can be thankful for. I also think when we are able to recognize our own privilege, we can begin to recognize inequality without feeling threatened. And maybe then, we can live more generously toward those around us.”

“Empathy should apply to all stakeholders, including oneself. Balance is key. It's often a bad idea to empathize with one stakeholder to the detriment of other stakeholders. You may not want to give that employee criticism, but what about the customers who are negatively impacted by that employees insufficient performance? You may not want to reject that clients particular request, but what about the employees who would be negatively impacted if the request is honored? You may want to put in 20 more hours for the client this week, but what about the self-care you need to remain healthy so that you can bring your best self to work? Empathy is good - but it should be Multi Stakeholder Empathy. Balance is key.”

“When I apologize, I try to make my understanding, my responsibility, and my intention clear. Even if the follow-through is not completely consistent, the exposing itself with no excuses at least gives me--gives us--a chance. Which is why the first words from me when someone apologizes, often, is, 'For what?' That is the only way the unraveling of accountability, empathy, complicity, and commitment to revision can begin.”
