Happiness is so desired by many and found by few people, the reason is that we do not know how to look for it, many of us look for it in money, in social networks, however we still feel empty, because we never imagine that we can find it in empathy.

Perhaps after so much walking in life and having so many accumulated life experiences is that we end up realizing that the happiness that we do not find is in human relationships, this means that when we relate to other people and generate strong bonds of rapport with friends, family, co-workers, we can have the opportunity to understand their feelings and this in turn gives us the opportunity to provide our help especially if we are empathetic, it is at this point where we find happiness to help others based on empathy for our loved ones.

Happiness is closely related to feeling good about ourselves, when we know we are acting well, we are happy because we are at peace with our conscience, all this makes us reflect then that empathy is the perfect link for our emotions to connect the feelings and good deeds between human beings who want to be happy simply for the satisfaction of knowing that they act correctly towards their fellows, this in turn leads us to a second plane of benefits that complement our happiness, as we can build strong relationships, solve problems more easily and generate environments whose environments help mutual understanding between people.
