We had touched on the fact that the basis or foundation of the Tower of Pisa was negligently flawed from its inception. However, the basis that strengthens our own persona in relation with others is most impelling or motivational when held up by cultivating empathy, compromise, and humor. Empathy is not to be confused with sympathy, empathy is more profound, you feel their pain, where sympathy is only understanding their situation. Empathy is reflected in three ways, there is emotional empathy manifested by tears as when experiencing a sad movie, there is cognitive empathy where you imagine yourself in their shoes, and compassionate empathy shown by taking action to help another. A recent study postulated that dogs feel empathy, instinctively, toward humans and act on that empathy, responding urgently to humans crying. Are you starting to "feel" what it is to be empathetic?
Compromise is willing to come together to find the solution without argumentation, altercation, or squabbling. It is a matter of willing to settle the issue by making mutual concessions, willing to bend a little or strike a balance for the benefit of both. Is it not interesting, that a weeping willow naturally knows when to bend or yield its branches? Humor, from my perspective is healthiest when we can laugh at oneself, giving evidence that we accept who we are, it is the doorway to your personal confidence and self-assurance. I would also say this quality of laughing at oneself is attractive, you will be the life of the party, because it is relatable since everyone of us is insecure, we are all imperfect, I would be the first one to raise my hand on that one. Did you know that the motivation to build the Tower of Pisa was to show the world just how important the city of Pisa was? The Tower was built hastily on pride and not on a solid reason, consequently, we will explore other elements to further solidify the human connection. Therefore, to conclude this post, whatever you are building in life, build on empathy, compromise and with plenty of humorous fun.
