Empathy!

In general, I consider myself an empathetic person with certain people. I feel empathy towards to the poor and broken of the world, the children without families in orphanages in Asia, the families in Africa who walk miles each day to get clean water. I don't necessarily consider myself empathetic towards the person who is blessed with so much but ungratefully dismisses their blessings. But in general, I consider myself empathetic even if I don't want to be empathetic. However, the empathy quotient gave me a score that said I had low empathy. I don't necessarily agree with this result because I do believe I am an empathetic person however my answers just may have not been what the creator of this program thought of as empathetic. My friend Abby is quite an empathetic person. She helps everyone and anyone even though it may cost her. I deeply admire her empathy for all people. As well, I have a friend who is the opposite and focuses on herself all the time rather than people around her such as when she doesn't help people who need help in some classes. However, deep down I do believe there is a part of her that is empathetic.
