The Beauty of Choosing Empathy in a Cruel World

You're still here? Maybe I should reward you for scrolling this far down. Hmm.. Let's see... Well, I'll just tell you the exact story of how I "misplaced my empathy towards another" just like I said in the end of the video. You see, I'm friends with I consider precious to me back in my town. Friends who, made life a little bit easier despite the difficulty and heaviness of life. Each day, we would exchange smiles, laugh at the dumbest jokes, and just helped me in genera and it was easy to reach them as we were just houses apart. I placed my utmost trust in them. I cared for them, detecting even the smallest of change in their mood, and would subtly comfort them. But a recent event had made me changed their perspective on them. Recently, I found out there had been chatter and talks about me (which I will not specify). The funny part is, this went on for more than a month without me knowing. And the way I found out, was unexpected. A separate mutual made a joke about me, that seemed to be a long time inside joke. At first, I was confused what it could possibly be pertaining about. Then it hit me. There was a reason why people were acting a certain way towards me, false-truths had been spread about me, and I found out, that those friends I have, knew all along, for the longest time. All this time, I was walking around while people were talking behind my back, perceiving me as some sort of a bitter, scornful, fool, who apparently blames others for my own misery. And my friends, never told me. I fear, they did their roles in spreading this hearsay as well. It made me very anxious, to think that this had been going on while I was exchanging laughter with them. Everybody knew, but me. Memories I had with them, whom I considered people I can rely on, are now tainted. I couldn't look at my friends the same way I used to, and they have no idea I connected the dots. From then on, I kept them with surface level interactions, not fully ready to let go yet, but slowly, I would disappear, for my own peace. Perhaps, trusting, empathizing, and understanding blindly isn't the way to go. It was very easy to let go of everything I believe in and turn to hatred, but then I remembered that another person's mistakes towards me shouldn't determine how I would act upon another. If a person threw a stone and hit you, would you also shout and blame the passerbys simply because they were watching? I may not be able to trust those people again, but there will always be people out there who'll be worth it. Until then, I'll keep searching and extend pieces of myself to people, no matter how risky it is. #anime #mentalhealth #videoessay
