Solution
In order to enhance the quality of our life we need to/develop empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and accept others who are different from us. It helps us to appreciate what the other person is going through and to offer emotional support at the time of need.
Empathy works wonders when applied to relationships – our family, our friends or colleagues. It encourages positive behaviour towards people who are in need. Not only does empathy help us to resolve conflicts but it also enables us to find solutions to problems.
In the process we end up making decisions to benefit us without hurting others. The poem also shows that empathetic behaviour is applauded by all.
