Empathy is a form of communication. Of understanding. Not of language, empathy occurs between humans and between species as well. Can we understand trees too (communicate with them)? Rocks? Can empathy be learned? From books? By meditation, from a guru? I do not understand my cat but I sense that my cat understands me. My cat doesn't judge me (I don't think) but my cat doesn't have to clean up after me either.
