Love TS of so called intelligentsia pisting with brilliance but minus souls. Love, friendship, has to be nourished like a Greg’s hardeniaplant. Let’s all think of who we neglected for days. We light up others lives, I think. Hugs, Panfie xx

Dear Sara, this is such a beautiful write, i admire empathetic souls, some simply lack emotional intelligence from a young age hence why they tend to not show empathy, but one who has it would definitely know how to put their selves in another persons shoes, to feel and understand others emotions. A creative perspective helps but like youv said it is also intelligence. You seem like an empathetic soul. Always there to lift others up. Sending you light always

thanks, dear Ink, for stopping by and for sharing your thoughts on empathy. Yes, unempathetic souls do exist, almost as if their moral compass is askew. Have you ever rad the book, Emotional Intelligence? Thanks for your kind words about being empathetic. I appreciate you noticing. I believe you're empathetic as well. Your comments lift me up. Have a great day, Sara

Creativity is intelligence but empathy rates even higher, when woven into the fabric of love and compassion :)
