In fact, we have already found the impact of empathy in the previous studies not only in terms of the mental health of the individual but in terms of physical health as well. But now we are eager in finding out more about this subject and finding out just the way a student will perform and act as a highly empathetic person. We are observing the qualities demonstrated by the student in the way that the student performs the act of empathy and finding out just what all it leads to. We are observing the way it all helps the students not only become good in terms of the external world but are good in terms of themselves as well.

Curiosity Cultivation

Empathetic people possess an endless curiosity about other people. They possess a strong desire for strangers. They also possess strong listening capacities. They always maintain the childlike curiosity about those aspects of people’s meetings that involve people from different environments rather than their own environments.

This trait is considered an important attribute of character that might beneficently raise the level of satisfaction in one’s life as it acts as an antidote for loneliness.

Experiential Cauldron 

George Orwell, one of the well-known writers of the last century, started his life's journey as a police officer in British Burma during the early years of the,. We are talking about the 1920s here. He came back to London and was determined to find out how it felt to be on the threshold of society. And so, he disguised himself as the beggars and vagabonds and started living amongst them. He came back a different man; having faced drastic shifts in beliefs, values, and associations of life. He wrote about it to be the best travel experience of his life, and he stated, empathy not only makes you good, but it's good for you too.

Inspiration Station

One thing that we always forget while flicking through the pages of history is that the spine that has facilitated the arrival of the most phenomenal changes in this world has been that of human empathy itself. As has been mentioned in the article: "Historian Adam Hochschild quotes the eighteenth and nineteenth century anti slavery movement: 'Abolitionists put their faith in human empathy, not in a "sacre" human text.'"

Ambitious Imagination

One of the most wonderful qualities of an empath is that they can experience empathy beyond the scope of a spectimum. What it means is that an actual empath can experience empathy towards individuals they like in a fight or in an ongoing war, for example, towards their opposers/attackers. When Gandhi said, "I am a Muslim and a Hindu, and a Christian and a Jew," it is definitely this part about him.

Indeed, the world is going through transitions in its basic elements, and this is what we take our children through so that they not only develop into intellectuals but into lovers, dreamers, and artists. It is believed that the skill of storytelling is a highly efficient method to develop empathy in children. This is why our classes are structured in a manner that we make sure that the child is able to understand the world in its holistic way. The time is ripe, the time is now.
