Shabbas – Empathy

Posted on

One of my readings this week was on empathy, not just caring for others but doing so even when you’re inconvenienced in the process. Those moments when you have to pull over for a siren, or you have to sit in traffic and wait for an accident to clear or even when an appointment is cancelled or postponed for someone else emergency.  It’s pretty easy, I think, to focus on how those things impact you and dwell there a bit but taking a moment to sit and ponder the person or persons on the other end… that’s an entirely different perspective.

If there are sirens then that might mean someone is hurt or in a dangerous situation and needs help.

A few extra minutes in traffic for me over a crunched car, a ticket or injury?

The minor inconvenience of waiting when the other person might have suffered a loss or is having a really bad day.

Following these thoughts through I’ve decided that I am going to take those moments to hope someone gets help in time, that their day gets better or just to wish them well instead of moaning over a few lost minutes in my day.
