Transcript:
Speaker 1 (0s): I'm here.Â
Speaker 2 (21s): We were discussing an article about empathy and its impact on the environment.Â
Speaker 1 (26s): You know, that article was something I, I came across just in trying kind of to do what you do, kind of trying to find like how can we make connections and help people understand, like, people we talk about compassion and empathy, sympathy all in the same kind of realm. And we really think about it from a humanistic kind of standpoint. All are kind of different. They're not necessarily the same, even though they get clumped together. And so I was trying to find something that just to share, you know, that we could say, okay, actually all of these things are vital or important in nature as well.Â
Right? And so whether it's, it's, we're thinking about land or the ocean or wildlife, it doesn't really matter when we, human behavior is really a component that's really impactful on our surroundings. And so that article is actually pretty intense. I thought when he's talking about vultures, which is really interesting, cause we all think it's just being these demonic, evil animals with like, why should we protect Folgers or take care of them?

So that's why I thought that article would be at least good for us to base a conversation on a little bit.Â
Speaker 2 (2m 12s): I thought the article was fascinating and I really liked how the author of the article gave the distinctions and empathy. It made me realize the impact that empathy has on our behavior about our surroundings and the people we love and our relationships.Â
Speaker 1 (2m 32s): Yeah, yeah, it does. And that is, I mean, we can put ourselves, we can say, Oh, I can put myself in that person's shoes. I've never experienced whatever they're going through right now at this point in time. Right. And there's a difference where you have a sense of empathy. When you can say, I have the same feelings, I have similar feelings, I've had this, I can understand where they're coming from and what they're doing, the difference between. And I'll go to compassion real qu
