Related knowledge: Empathy: Empathy refers to the ability to understand other people's emotions and ideas, understand other people's positions and feelings, and think and deal with problems from the perspective of others in the process of interpersonal communication. Simply put, empathy is a way of thinking from the other person's standpoint. Even if your own point of view is different from others, you don't agree-you can't judge that the other party must be wrong; Try to think again and again, look at it from another angle seriously, and focus on things instead of people, and you will find that your original decision may not be completely correct. Because what happened to me (subjectively) is very different from what happened to you/him/her/it (objectively). There is always a reason for other people's thoughts and actions. Sometimes you may have measured the impact on people/things. After trying to accept/understand other people's ways, styles and actions, you can adjust your reaction, which is the performance of "empathy". Even if the original practice is changed or even the original intention is abandoned, it does not mean assimilation, but understanding and respect.
