Empathy

After a recent encounter with this myself, I felt compelled to write this blog in honour of it.  For those who don't believe, please don't read this post as I truly believe in this and in Karma.

It is said that friends enter your life from time to time.  It is also said that best friends are for life.  Best friends know when you are sad before you do, they know when you're calling, they think of you and you know that they are in your heart.  It's said that even though you go long periods of time without speaking, you know what each are thinking just by closing your eyes.  Some call this phenomenon a coincidence, others call it empathy.  For some empathy means the ability to understand someone's feelings and situation without predujice or putting your own feelings in replace of others'.  Others consider empathy the ability to tell when someone whom you share a connection with is hurt and you feel it as well.

In a recent encounter, I felt such a pain that only could have been felt by someone either being beaten or killed.  Thankfully, it was the first of the two.  One of my friends whom I share a deeper connection with than either of us know, recently had an encounter with bandits and was jumped and beaten.  He is alright; a little shaken up, but alright. 

I felt pain but dismissed it as just hunger pains.  Later that night, I got a message from him to call him.  When I called, I could feel a sense of hurt and worry over the phone.  That's when he told me that he had been jumped and beaten.

Spirit doesn't like when we talk about our experiences like these.  But, as I said in the beginning, I felt compelled to write this.  As if Spirit wan't me to tell you all.

I do believe that there are people who are able to predict future events, people who can sense empathy, and people who can truly see and talk with Spirit.  For those who don't believe, please don't leave hateful messages.  Just take a moment to think of events that have happened in your life.  Have we not all once felt something was wrong before we knew what was going on?  Have we not all had a major sense of deja vu?  Have we all not thought we saw someone who we were sure was there, only to have others say that there isn't anyone there?

With that thought, I leave you.

Thank you, peace. <3
