A couple of years ago another person said that I was an empath.  I have never heard that term before but it made so much sense when I looked into it. |
Yes. It sounds like empathy here is blue, one color, and it seems to have a dominant frequency. Empathy is a color coded frequency and an empath is one born out of this color coded commonality of human experience. The red empath then is obviously tuned to the brighter side of living reflecting the joy in another's happiness. This red empath too is born out of the commonality of pleasant human experience. Thus, it seems here that empathy is a binding gift born out of either happy or sad common human experience and not taught as a component in Assertiveness Training. Is empathy innate or learned? Is it true that as children we found our empathy for pain is accepted and our empathy for pleasure rejected? Is it true that our "sensitivity" to another's pain is appreciated and our appreciation of another's happiness is likely to be scorned? How does an empath really feel? Let us empathize the feelings of the true empath.
