Ripples of Empathy

Translate into words an instance of an empathetic experience you had with a stranger.

Taking the perspective of others, understanding their emotions, and being moved by them is a central capacity for being human. Recount an incident where you connected with a stranger at an emotional level—this could be a time you helped someone or were helped, or simply shared in their joy or sorrow. Discuss what you felt, how it impacted you, and what you learned about human bonds from it.
