In trying times is more important than ever to consider the feelings of those around you. We are all in our own bubble, with our own unique perspective on the world, and it is crucial for our personal development to understand how other people experience the world.

There are, of course, the subconscious empathetic reflexes that we all experience without thinking (you might wince when you see someone get hurt, for example.) But to be truly empathetic, you need actively think about the concerns of others.
