Personally, I think humility is a prerequisite to being a truly empathic person.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.
Humility, I have learned, must never be confused with meekness. Humility is being open to the ideas of others.
Humility is nothing else but a right judgment of ourselves.
Humility is always a good thing. It's always a good thing to be humbled by circumstances so you can then come from a sincere place to try to deal with them.
A prerequisite to empathy is simply paying attention to the person in pain.
I think with any characterization there's a point where you empathize, no matter how much of a deviance his or her actions may be from your understanding of humanity.
What made me empathic was my depressions.
Humility is not something that comes naturally. But it is a cardinal virtue that should be pursued more than any other.
Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self.
Humility is no substitute for a good personality.
