EMPATHY

Oh yes, I am nurturing my empathy more and more intensely again. Because I increasingly observe the fading of this remarkable trait. These enormously chaotic and threatening times in 2025 no longer allow us to think about friends or neighbours. After all, I – yes, even I – am more intensely occupied with my own mental life. Fear for the future of the children and oneself can become a full-time job.
Oh, I wish this time would motivate us humans to stand together again. Because, as a lone fighter in times of fear, it is a hopeless battle.
When people come together and exchange ideas, then this dynamic of community takes hold. History repeatedly demonstrates the success of effective group dynamics. I simply say that human rights, women’s rights, animal rights, and labour rights are just a part of the achievements that were only and exclusively achieved by a large number of brave, peace-loving fighters.
Yes, that sounds like the life of a hippie commune.

And I like to hear that. Somehow.
