As the year is closing in, and winter is well drawn on, I'm thinking of the seeds I'm sewing for spring. What sorts of thoughts do you want to grow this coming year?⁠

I want to grow more empathetic thoughts.⁠
There are three kinds of empathy:⁠
✨Cognitive (to intellectually know another person's situation)⁠
✨Emotional (to know another person's situation and to reflect upon a similar situation you have experienced & how that made you feel)⁠
✨Compassionate (to know someone's situation, to intuit how it might feel to be in that situation and to use that knowledge and feeling to take action). ⁠

Compassionate empathy requires going beyond our own feelings, though, because we can assume the other person feels the way we have felt, when perhaps they don't at all. Well-meaning, empathizing people can still cause harm. (Like Hermione's attempt at freeing house elves; she never asks them how they feel, or what they need).⁠

You will receive one 1.1″ × 1.75″ Acrylic pin :)

Pin Details
♥ Each pin is packaged on a recycled card, popped into a biodegradable cello bag made from corn and tucked into a kraft bubble mailer.
♥ This beautifully crafted pin would make a fantastic standalone gift, or a sweet feminist stocking stuffer for something extra.
