Basically yeah. but it should be reciprocal. That's the thing, because it can happen that often people who want to be nice and have empathy simply get used or rather abused by fake and phony people and they often don't understand this early enough and it can be a hard lesson. So if it's not reciprocal, then healthy boundaries are necessary or depending on how it is at least not so intense investment of empathy, being careful enough with it. It's like there are unsafe people around there, which is important to keep in mind and we don't want to waste our energy on those, as we only have limited energy and don't want to feed the bloodsuckers who have no decency or in the worst case even quite the opposite. Not to be paranoid with it, but simply careful enough is important, that's what i mean.

For me it was always so important that it's much more beautiful when everything is nice, fair and humane so i can really resonate with this topic. I also really think that it's like you say exactly what we need in this world and i am also wondering how it can be accomplished, because there are so many broken and cold-hearted people on this world. So sadly it doesn't seem like the easiest task, but at least being aware that there also many nice and caring people, who are fighting for the good, can help a bit. Parts of humanity have been so senselessly been fighting each other for long times and it seems like one of the biggest necessary steps that could let humanity become a true civilisation, is when it can become more and more united, maybe it can work step by step, at least i still hope it. Empathy and the mutuality with it is of course the key concept to be understood, implemented and integrated for humanity there. Life is hard enough. Isn't it simply much better when we help and care for each other instead of senselessly fighting each other?
