Lately, I’ve been thinking about empathy - how easily it’s dismissed as weakness by those who mistake cruelty for strength. When someone mocks empathy, what they’re really rejecting is accountability for the harm they cause. Empathy isn’t softness; it’s the discipline of seeing the world through another’s eyes. It’s what allows societies to cooperate, to build trust, to choose care over indifference.
