    Empathy can kill a person if too overwhelming. Only The Lord can show us His compassion and how to direct it and proportion it through faith and in prayer how when activated can be used effectually as well as exponentially in Jesus’ Name. Amen

    I felt this; I also shed a tear. We all need compassion towards each other. It’s not weakness, but strength!

    Secret ingredient? It’s not much of a secret. Empathy is a normal inherent human trait.

      We would hope. But these rotten billionaires running the world have no compassion

    By age seven, I knew I felt everything too deeply. Empathy is natural, but it takes many forms. You’re welcome to as much of it as you can bear. As for me—I’m tired of crying for humanity, burdened by the emotions of nearly everyone I’ve ever met. It’s aged me, and every day I wrestle with the weight of empathy trying to drown my spirit. Be kind to one another, blessed.

      The empathic are troubled with bettering the world while the soulless are at the top of the world.

      We also have that fucked up superpower.

      The innate ability to see things/people for what they COULD be, instead of what they currently ARE

      Ground and Center yourself on a daily basis. Ground yourself into the Earth and tether yourself into the universal energy. You’ll get your energy back and it will build up that protection that has been missing for so long

    Where is the EMPATHY for these people being forcibly rounded up by ICE while picking fruits and vegetables to put on OUR tables? Did I miss the News Bulletin showing how illegal immigrants are “stealing” these unskilled agricultural labor jobs away from American citizens? I’m pretty sure these jobs have been here the entire time and anybody can just walk up and talk to the owner or foreman of the farm and get a job! Oh. I see. You’d much rather pay $12 for a strawberry 🍓 Makes sense

We’re Keeping the Ocean Wild — and You Can Join Us | Sylvia A. Earle | TED

In 2009, marine biologist Sylvia Earle stood on the TED stage and made a wish: to build a global network of “Hope Spots” and protect the ocean before it’s too late. Seventeen years later, she’s back to report on what’s happened since — and the picture is both more urgent and more hopeful than you might expect. From 100,000 fur seals saved from near-extinction to coral reefs rebuilt clam by clam, Earle says we already know exactly what needs to be done; the only thing left is to find the will to do it. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 17, 2026)

Octopus, squid and cuttlefish — collectively known as cephalopods — have strange, massive, distributed brains. What do they do with all that neural power? Dive into the ocean with marine biologist Roger Hanlon, who shares astonishing footage of the camouflaging abilities of cephalopods, which can change their skin color and texture in a flash.
