the 20th and 21st century

     The other day, I read this wonder article which made me think myself deeper in my life. So, I thought of sharing with you.
     The 20th century was the age of introspection, when self-help and therapy cultural encouraged us to believe that the best way to understand who we are and how to live was to look inside ourselves. But it left us gazing at our own navels.

     The 21st century should become the age of empathy, when we discover ourselves not simply through self-reflection, but by becoming interested in the lives of others. We need empathy to create a new kind of revolution. Not an old- fashioned revolution built on new laws, institution or policies, but a radical revolution in human relationship.
