Empathy

There’s a well known thought about giving people fish

Just like it’s generally believed, instead, such people should be taught how to fish

In this poem’s context, here’s what you need to know as the best way to be able to resolve such a situation

You ought to be honest enough to understand it before proposing and seeking the solution

For instance, it’s unfair to assume that everyone who genuinely seeks help is a beggar

So, always keep that in mind in order to avoid being egocentric and assuming you’re bigger

In another case, it’s foolhardy to always look down on every destitute

This mostly comes as a result of assuming that they all have, about life, a very negative attitude

Here’s also an interesting one: it’s not everyone seemingly hustling and wandering on the streets that’s a tout or lazy

Knowing their true stories will help you to really understand their plight and not even erroneously call them crazy

Pondering all these things, in the face of the situation across the globe, here’s the best way to feel safe and sleep well at night

It happens as a result of your empathy, instead of always giving handouts  

We should all learn to have empathy and help one another to be the standout

That can eventually compare each of us to the laudable knight

DO YOU HAVE EMPATHY?
