If you ever watched the movie "Aloha" released in 2015, there was a scene where Bradley Cooper (Gilcrest) did a "conversation" with John Krasinski (Woody) but without a word. Without us knowing, we feel there is nothing wrong with this scene. Because we unknowingly accept "conversation" like this is something reasonable.
But if we think
Is this kind of conversation can we apply in everyday life?
Only people who have great empathy can do this. This conversation is a high-level conversation, which requires not only the sensitivity of the heart, but also the intelligence of thinking.
Empathy is mandatory for a conversation like this. In everyday life, we alone know what best kind of response we expect from others when we have problems. Sometimes there are people who want to be entertained when he has a problem. But, there are people who actually feel uncomfortable when he was entertained because of the problem. They just want to be quiet. Do not want to talk about it with other people. Even entertained though.
If we have an empathy, we know how to behave when meeting these different types of people. Is it supposed to cheer her up? Or just leave it alone. Because only by "being able to feel" what other people feel, we know what the best response we expect from others when we're in trouble.
In this case we must be sensitive to our surroundings and the intelligence of thinking to be able to read the situation and facial expression.
Here is a piece of the conversation between Gilcrest and Woody that we are discussing above
I know you're Gracie's father.
I'm glad you know.Yes, this is awkward.
And yes, I want my family back.It is always your family Woody.
They're all crazy in love with you.Did you sleep with my wife?
No, i slept with Ng.
It may not be exactly like this, but if we read the whole situation, we know where the conversation is going.
This is not mind reader. Because no one can do that. This is what an empathy looks like. And only geniuses people can apply it.
