Quote by Life is Positive

“In the intricate ballroom of human interaction, empathy, and narcissism often find themselves locked in a complex, albeit toxic, waltz. Empaths, with their generous hearts and boundless capacity for understanding, are irresistibly drawn to the magnetic charm of narcissists. It’s an attraction as old as time itself, akin to moths flitting towards a flame – a flame that promises warmth but often delivers nothing but singed wings and regret.”

“I think I might be a bit mentally disabled.” “Disabled, eh? Really?” "Yes, because the others grow up, become acquainted with death, love, and how life is in general.

“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.”
