That which is lost - Empathy

Empathy. Pride yourself on the fact that you are tolerant, observant, opinionated. But somedays, maybe on just a handful of them, you are not really empathetic. In between brief interludes of conversations, you come out as someone overtly set in your ways. Too strong. Too condescending. Too patronizing. The world is not a collection of curios to choose from. How would you know the other is not in similar two minds about you? Do you hide behind the familiar warmth of unconscious? Where you bluntly state, you're not sure what you're looking for? The more success we have, the more others conform to us, the more adamant we become in interactions. Is the zeal to push our selves to the forefront and advocate supremacy so great that we forget to put ourselves in another's shoes and think for a second whether we are being needlessly harsh? Maybe something to think about on a spent up morning? There is just not your view point that is valid in the world.
