"Un requisito previo para la empatía es simplemente prestar atención a la persona que sufre."
— Daniel Goleman
Simplified Meaning:
To truly understand and share someone else's feelings, you need to first notice and care about what they are going through. Imagine a friend who is sad because they lost their job. If you are busy with your own things and don't pay attention to their sadness, you can't really feel or understand their pain. Just like when you're watching a movie, you need to really watch and listen to know what is happening in the story. By paying attention to your friend's feelings, asking them how they are, and listening carefully, you show that you care. This helps you connect with them and understand why they are hurting. In everyday life, paying attention to others' emotions can make you a better friend, partner, or family member. It helps build stronger relationships because people feel supported and understood.
