Quote by Shellen Lubin

“If we allow ourselves to perceive each other as enemies, to be enemies, and to behave as if we are, there is no hope. We have to have empathy. We have to believe there is hope.”

“Перерахую здібності, що пов'язані з гуманітарними науками та мистецтвом: здатність до критичного мислення; здатність відірватися від приватних інтересів і поглянути на світові проблеми з точки зору "громадянина світу"; і, нарешті, здатність співчутливо ставитися до труднощів іншої людини.”

“By empathy, I do not mean the capacity to feel the same way someone else feels. This is sympathy. Sympathy is highly touted, but in my opinion, somewhat overrated. By empathy, I do not mean acting in a tender, understanding manner. This is support. Support is also highly valued and overrated. So what is empathy? Empathy is the ability to comprehend with accuracy the precise thoughts and motivations of other people in such a way that they would say "yes, that is exactly where I'm coming from.”

“If everyone and everything living in the world can manage to look at the world through the eyes of everyone else and everything else, the world can truly become a beautiful place! Look at the world through the eyes of a deer, look at it through the eyes of a Christian, look at it through the eyes of a Muslim, look at it through the eyes of a Jew, look at it through the eyes of a flower or an insect! Abandon yourself, enter the minds of others and look at the world from there, understand everyone and everything, and find a solution accordingly!”
