I Want To Write My Random Thoughts And Feelings

Empathy is the ability to make inferences about someone's internal world without needing to be told what they're actually experiencing. It's also the hallmarks of a truly intelligent person to be able to do this, and indicative of a far-reaching, deeply analytical mind. In realistic terms, we can all put ourselves in the shoes of others and get a rough idea of what they're experiencing. But true empathy, the kind which is often extremely difficult to come by and seldomly seen, is that extra something, that spark of magic which ignites an emotive force of its own.
