Can Empathy Be Dangerous? Exploring the Balance Between Empathy and Compassion

Many of us want others to feel what we feel, love as we love, or understand us without saying a word. But is this realistic? In this video, we explore the complexities of empathy: its power to connect, its potential dangers, and how it can be misused.
