The Kindness of Seeing with Your Heart

"Empathy is about standing in someone else's shoes, feeling with his or her heart, seeing with his or her eyes.  Not only is empathy hard to outsource and automate, but it makes the world a better place."
~ Daniel H. Pink

When I pulled into the parking garage of our building, I noticed a car parked in my space.  As I drove up, an older gentleman was pulling out of the spot.  He rolled down his window and said he was sorry.  In a quiet voice, my nine-year-old son said, "I feel sorry for that man."  I asked him why.  "He had sadness in his voice."
