Galuunk Khaar's Empathy: A Short Story

Who would've have known that a boy that once craved hugs and kisses from his pack's alphas, was now repulsed by even the word, alpha.

The humanistic theory states that each of us has an innate potential that we can actualize and through which we can find life’s meaning. It shares with existentialism a focus on respect and trust for the client. Both share the following: respect for client’s experience and trust in client’s ability to change, believe in freedom, choice, values, personal responsibility, autonomy, and meaning (Corey, 2017, pp. 169). Some differences are that in existentialism clients come into counseling because they are facing anxiety in trying to create uniqueness in a world without intrinsic meaning. In person-centered therapy clients do not suffer from anxiety in creating an identity, instead clients need to believe that they have the natural potential to

In my volunteer experience, I have seen only the very tip of the iceberg when facing the issue of balancing my work and empathy. I have no doubt that this issue will challenge me much more as a physician.

Finally Sotuknang sent Poqanghoya and Palongawhoya back to the poles to resume the normal rotation of the earth, and soon the ice melted and life returned. Sotuknang called the people up from their refuge, and he introduced them to the third world that he had made. Again he admonished the people to remember their Creator as they spread across the land. As they did so, they multiplied quickly, even more quickly than before, and soon they were living in large cities and developing into separate nations. With so many people and so many nations, soon there was war, and some of the nations made huge shields on which they could fly, and from these flying shields they attacked other cities. When Sotuknang saw all this war and destruction, he resolved to destroy this world quickly before it corrupted the few people who still remembered the Creator. He called on Spider Woman to gather those few and, along the shore, she placed each person with a little food in the hollow stem of a reed. When she had done this, Sotuknang let loose a flood that destroyed the warring cities and the world on which they

While my friend was working on her project inside the studio, I walked in there and distracted her with a gigantic cupcakes. I told her it’s time for a cupcake and she should eat it before she’s getting too serious with the project. After I gave her the cupcake, she handed me back some snakes and water, this proved that the article “Kindness Contagious” by Zaki Jamil is true, I didn’t expect she would give me anything back as a return. Aftering doing this experiment, not only that it proved my hypothesis is true but I also discovered that kindness is really contagious. I felt really good that she appreciated my kindness, even though what she gave me was a snacks and water but it actually made me feels really good that there’s people who is

Two billionaires who never fail to get what they want. They both want the same woman.

There is a question that has been said or thought of thousands of times before by many different generations of people. It is a simple question, really, but one that requires much contemplation and debate. That question is: What legacy will your generation leave behind for future generations? It is no secret that this current generation, the generation that I was born in, has been gifted with substantially different technological endowments than every past generation. With that in mind, it must be asked: what consequence has this had on us as a society? In a sense, could it not be articulated that technology has been equally disadvantageous as it has been advantageous? Yes, we could connect with people from all over the globe right from our fingertips, but is that really relevant if we sacrifice our ability to communicate? The advancements that have been made thus far are only the beginning. Our

Only beasts roamed the lands, waters, and soulless skies, doing as they wished. Every second of every day was a fight for survival. If you were one of these creatures you did not have any friends, partners or allies. Trust was a death wish. You never, ever, spoke. To anything.

The perplexing nature of empathy regarding death is tackled in the first part of Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments. Smith explains his assertion that empathy is the result of the imagination of oneself in another’s position and suggests that this concept can be applied to the paradoxical situation of being dead. Overall context and knowledge of another’s affairs, are of importance in Smith’s argument for empathy and there is a strong focus on the individual. Smith asserts that any empathetic response, directed towards the recently deceased, is ultimately the result of fear for one’s own inevitable future. He expresses his points with uncanny descriptions and ominous scenarios, all centered around the individual, and vaguely connects

“If love is judged by its visible effects, it often looks more like hatred.” As stated in the quote, individuals tend to show their affection towards their loved ones in a rather aggressive fashion thus the process of expressing one’s love to another is often interpreted as hatred. However, this misinterpretation only occurs when one’s treatment of love is judged solely based on the visually observable aspects. These actions actually show an insight into their genuine love, but the clumsiness in expressing is what people mistakenly perceive as “loathing” and “detestation.” As a result, the relationship between individuals develop contrary to the original intents as it is followed by individual’s actions, inevitably arousing disputes. In William Gibson’s play based on Helen Keller’s life, The Miracle Worker, the characters also struggle with similar relationship conflicts revolving around the idea of visible love

Integrity is defined as the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. People always associated integrity with only honesty; however, honesty is not equal to integrity. One can be honest and yet still lacking in integrity. In “The Insufficiency of Honesty,” Stephen L. Carter claims that integrity requires three steps: discerning what is right and what is wrong; acting on what you have discerned, even at personal cost; and saying openly that you are acting on your understanding of right and wrong.

Most definitions of empathy are based on the same core idea - empathy is the ability to understand and identify someone else’s thoughts and feelings, as if they were one’s own (wordreference online dictionary, 2016). Although it’s been said “there are probably nearly as many definitions of empathy as people working on the topic.” (de Vignemont & Singer, 2006, p.435) suggesting that there is no singular way to even define empathy, let alone explain its impact on our behaviour. Due to the sheer depth and complexity of empathy it’s understandable that each discipline within psychology presents it’s own explanation for why we experience it, and how it can affect our interaction with the world around us. Psychologists have been exploring empathy for decades, in hope of gaining a complete grasp of what it means and how it can vary between each person, therefore its important we look at different psychological perspectives to try to understand it’s many dimensions.

Indradeva sat in his chariot and disappeared. I returned to my father's home with a desire for a new life, new youth, and new hopes. Next day Krushashwa came and took me his home with a great dealof affection. I tried to have a normal life, but my life did not follow the normal pattern of living. Krushashwa had two remorse. He felt guilty for abandoning me. If he did not abandon me and treated with sympathy I would have cured by satisfying Indradeva by my penance. All the glory would have gone to Krushashwa. The second reason was the eternal suspicion in the mind of a man. It was natural for him to be jealous of Indradeva. Also, there are lots of rumor of his weakness for women. He did not believe that Indradeva got satisfaction only by drinking soma-rasa from my lips. There are lots of dirty talks about me and Indradeva.

In Philoctetes by Sophocles, Odysseus commands Neoptolemos to abandon justice and base a relationship with Philoctetes on dishonesty to gain his trust and ultimately his bow. However, Neoptolemos acknowledges a similar burden plagues Philoctetes that becomes the basis of trust between them. Neoptolemos attempts to reconcile with Odysseus’ orders by stealing the bow and abandoning Philoctetes. Unable to fulfill the orders, Neoptolemos returns to Philoctetes indicating his commitment and his lack of trust with the Atreidai. Therefore, Sophocles challenges that trust is based on empathy and commitment as evident in Philoctetes’ and Neoptolemos’ relationship.

Further above than the galaxy was a being that rules over everything known as God. There was one god that rules the earth and he was known as a prankster. Though He did give the humans choice, He planned everything for the humans since he know what best for them. Thus, beyond what Ye Xia had hope for her life, the god actually didn’t let her wish come true and even messed up her life by exchanging her life with another soul that had a same name with her.
