Sometimes you have to wear the armor of indifference
To avoid being hurt by displaying the fact that you care
There is a division between those who care and others
Who think it a pleasure to poke fun at the sensitive people
Those who are happy and joyous at achievements of their friends
And are unhappy and sad at the failure for those they love
Empathy has to be shielded from the heartless
Not to bail out on the genuine emotions, but kept hidden
Not to utter empty words of platitudes, but real heartfelt concern
Written in response to the following;
Your daily word prompt;
RDP ;
FOWC;
Word of the day challenge;
****
Opposites Attract Challenge # 14
Todayβs word: joyous
Antonyms: displeased, dissatisfied, joyless, sad, unhappy, unpleased, unsatisfied

Great job including all those prompt words into one short response, Sadje. And what an important topic. I do hope that empathy can be shared in word and action. It’s the best answer to unkindness. β€

People who like to poke fun at the sensibilities of others should be avoided. I have learned to not take what they say, seriously.
