    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

OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world’s fastest-growing open-source projects. He makes a fascinating (and slightly unnerving) case that agents are a real shift, not just better versions of chatbots, and explores how they might reshape your ability to work, build and create. “The lobster is loose, and it’s not going back into the tank,” he says. (Followed by a brief Q&A with TED Chairman Chris Anderson)

Conservation: A Love Story | Elsaphan Njora | TED

What if the key to saving nature isn’t just about science or policy, but love? Love for the land, for the people who depend on it, for the world we leave behind. Artist Elsaphan Njora has journeyed across Kenya witnessing ecosystems vanish, from Indigenous forests to sacred lakes. But he’s also seen communities breathing life…

What if the key to saving nature isn’t just about science or policy, but love? Love for the land, for the people who depend on it, for the world we leave behind. Artist Elsaphan Njora has journeyed across Kenya witnessing ecosystems vanish, from Indigenous forests to sacred lakes. But he’s also seen communities breathing life back into rivers, forests and coasts in creative, unexpected ways — showing that conservation can flourish alongside livelihoods, and that even the most threatened landscapes can be reborn. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 17, 2025)
