Minimalization of Empathy Gap- Mantra For Healthy Personal & Professional Front

The sound of silence-“People talking without thinking….People hearing without listening…”Today the world is experiencing the lack of empathy, meaning an inability to relate to other’s needs and feelings. It isn’t something we haven’t faced before but this disruption in human connection is profoundly increasing in today’s era amongst us .

 We are marching towards building a nation whose DNA is based on standing up and speaking out- hello freedom!!! It is an incredibly good thingh but it can lead to problems where people choose to silence other’s opinions, viewing their voice as the only one that matters. There are disagreements about everything, black n white thinking globally ,or an ‘’ Us vs Them”mentality. In today’s world it feels like this empathy deficit is worst ever.

The lack of human connection doesn’t just affect on the personal front ,but it has devastating effect on the professional front as well when one comes as the health care provider where the lack of empathy dehumanizes the receiver  and shift of provider’s  focus from the whole person to target organs and test results. And this reminds  us of an oath: ”there is art to medicine and science, however warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug’’.

Isn’t it be satisfying to see our patient recovering from illness from the colossal effects of the great medicinal field along with the miraculous benefits of empathic relationships which can provide better immune function ,shorter post surgery hospital stays, fewer asthma attacks, and stronger placebo response. The believers here know that Universe has its own way of rewarding the ‘’Givers’’. What you send out, comes back..What you give, you get. It’s a kind of an ‘’ECHO’’. Its good to see how universe works.

Imagine how different and beautiful this world would look if help were given more freely, love were given more honestly, care were given more dedicatedly,  judgements were made only after hearing all sides, ill and needy will feel like home in hospitals and would wait not too long for healing touch. 

People will follow you when you build the character to follow through. We as an individual have the opportunity to create our own causes and moments and watch them turn into movements, to encourage others, support, advocate, volunteer and even donate towards several non profits at a time.

One person can make a difference, its not HOW, ITS WHEN..and you have the power to make it happen one at a time.

The haunted sound of silence doesn’t have to be anymore. Lets Light Up The World with act of kindness, donations, thoughts, discussions ….U name it.
