Hello @filotasriza 😃

I am just more and more convinced you would make a wonderful therapist ;)

You have just made me see why your friends are comfortable with coming to you for advice and comfort: because at the same time you empathize with their distress you are also able to be objective, as no emotions cloud your judgement. It appears to me you resort to cognitive empathy when dealing with them :) There is absolutely nothing to worry about it.

I did see on the news, and here on Steemit as well about the catastrophic fire that devastated many lives in your country this summer. I am so sorry about that Filos :(

And here you are again, using your cognitive empathy :) whilst you feel for the lives that were lost in the disaster, while you get frustrated by the apparent lack of emotions that some people seem to demonstrate you also rationalize it and question this 'cold-heartedness' as a result of human adaption.

Well, as cruel as it may be, this is a good thing, right? Whether we move on because of lack of empathy or resilience it is important that we do, as individuals and societies. Can you imagine if we had to 'pause' ours lives every time something terrible happens in the world?

Finally, it is also important to keep in mind each individual has their very own ways of feeling sad, of mourning; which we all ought to respect. I doubt very much that my neighbors had any idea of how upset I was about the event when they saw me outside last Sunday morning. As I just greeted them as if it were just another day, while they walked by.

Life is a strange thing sometimes!

Thank you once again for sharing your incredible reflections here with me my dear. Lots of love to you from Portugal! :*
