Understanding Empathy With Reference To Rumi
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The present paper attempts to understand what basic role empathy can play for humankind to make it dwell in synchronization with special reference to Rumi’s philosophy of life. Empathy is the capability to appreciate, understand, and accept another person’s emotions. Showing empathy genuinely is one of the most important interpersonal skills that anyone can master. American psychologist Marshall Rosenberg calls empathy “a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing” whereas American literacy expert Palm Allyn says that every child has the capacity for empathy—for understanding and respecting the emotions and perspectives of others.
