Yes, I think everyone needs empathy. Because people have sometimes gone through the same battle, and they can tell others how to walk through it. understanding is the best thing. People need to be helped.
I think this matters in our world because it has grown cold and calloused over the years. I mean, people push others out of the way to get what they want for themsleves and we shouldnt do that. So many people need help on this planet, and it should be our job to help them. Empathy is very important.
