Wonderful presentation! I really like how she took us on a journey, and showed us the power of empathy. Thank you so much for sharing this professor!

Its no coincidence that the closed caption translated "I see you" as ICU (intensive care unit). Indeed living from empathy & compassion offers a healing presence creating a mini moment of repair in the conditioned ruptures..an intensive care unit. This simplest attunement is an attunement we first towards ourselves..to sit, be, and hold ourselves within the Source of love so it flows out authentically from our bodies, speech and minds in all ways possible. May we all live dedicated to this intention. I feel you feeling me. We are okay. We are united by the humanity of our intrinsic value, Lifeforce & dignity. ICU. Thank you For schooling us!

It may also have something to do with the fact that "ICU" and "I see you" sound the same when said out loud

[@michaelsosman91108]

That is amazing the way the world connects. Thank you for sharing that connection. I feel that humans are in a state of illness in regards to community. We need the Intensive Care Unit for our soles. We need to practice the ICU. I will start today.

Empathy is the greatest sign of humanity.
Seeing others is the best attention that we are giving to people.
Empathy is being present with you and another person without changing what they believe.
I see you
I SEE you
I see YOU

Well said

[@tomover9905]

Useful pt regarding how some or many marginalized people participate in such marginalization toward others.

[@MusicMusic20A]

There are ao many definitions of empathy but I like this one.

[@nataliehunt7762]

I wish you were my professor 😭😭

[@hazzah5572]

Best to listen to this at 1.5 speed.

[@RR-dh4jh]

Amen 😢

[@tigerwolf2243]

What she described isn't empathy. She described seeing and listening to people. A manipulator or predator can do those things. Empathy is understanding and sharing others' feelings. The lady at the home depo spend the whole day making people feel weird. There is a positive word for what this woman is describing, but it's not empathy.

[@cozy_ancap]

Absolutely

🛐🙏❤facts💓❤💕❤❤❤💖💞❤❤♥️💗❤❤💕❤💖😭Heavenly Father JesusGod, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! In Jesus Mighty God's holy name, Amen!"
💗❤❤💞This Gospel message if you continue to believe this message, you will be saved: For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried , that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time,
