MotiVatiOn of EmpaThy

We create a motion on direct or indirect force because our body get the instruction from our brain and interpret it to a motion. So do ‘empathy’. We can feel the emotion if we let our brain to think about it and apply it in our mind to get the real feel of the situation.


First, most of the person that can feel the emotion well are people who has been in that specific condition before because they already get through it and they know the hardship the person may face. Furthermore, the experienced people can also give advices to the individuals so they will not make mistakes in solving their hardship.


Second, because we feel guilty or somehow responsible for his or her condition. Empathy is so much different than sympathy because for sympathy we only feel sorry for his or her condition but we don’t try to be and feel as we are in his or her condition. So we only look at them and feel sorry without taking any action. On top of that, when we in an empathy situation, we imagine ourselves facing the hard situation thus create our motion to help them in various of ways.


Third, the sense of a close relation between people. All of us have senses but the way we handle our sense with the surrounding are different. Some of us never care the other people hardship and challenges because they live in a comfortable life. This cause an uncaring generations grow in our community. In the other hand, people that use their sense in maximize way always alert about the changes of the surrounding and care about it. They want to maintain the harmony life so they help other people in many ways because they let themselves understand other people’s hardship and want them to successfully solve it as they are a community.


Every people that apply empathy in their life has a life full of joy and satisfaction because they give their best in their life and also in other people life. So, to generate empathy in our life, we should try to be a responsible person for ourselves and our community.
