Empathy
is not something you either have lots
or lack
it is something that has to be managed
and sometimes realized
in th moement

So much arrogance these days
is folks who claim to be empathic
and are really merely compassionate

Emotions are real
as much
as colors are real.

that give rise to emotions,
or have risen from the emotions
can influence
reality.

is to move forward,
even if we know
it is the wrong
direction.

are temporary
and require constant
management.

hoping that
the boundaries
will become permanent
but it will never happen
