The Key Is to Empathize
Ela Zeynep Aydınefe
It cannot be said that life consists of a straight and unobstructed path . Everyone lives a bumpy life , either economically or spiritually . Isn ’ t the purpose to destroy them ? To create a beautiful world worth living that does not exist in this difficult life .

Many people think of physically handicapped when we talk about obstacles . So , let ’ s start with them . The streets are full of obstacles for them . People who are not physically disabled are able to drive . They have never faced social discrimination and they can vomit blood as soon as they get stuck on a small stone , and they can easily reflect their hatred without empathizing . These people are subjected to humiliation that have the potential to significantly impact their future in school and will reverberate in a corner of their minds for the rest of their lives . They want to work , produce , contribute to the future , or leave a mark on this world , just like me , just like you . They also want to take a step towards peace , to be a milestone in someone ’ s life , just like me , just like you . I think the same is true when talking about mental disorders . Those who don ’ t have these problems , who think that everything is going well in their lives - maybe it ’ s a really good time for them , who knows - may not be empathetic enough . The thing that people who have more mental stability in this process should not forget is this :” Life is a roller coaster that can turn upside down at any moment .”
Maybe all this “ difficulty overcoming obstacles ” stems from our inability to fully understand that we are all human and that each of us has various problems in our lives . If humanity cannot empathize , it won ’ t be possible to overcome obstacles .
