The truth behind mental health

  Sympathy and empathy plays an important role in our daily lives. We all need them sometimes. Cause sometimes we just need to talk it out to people when we are feeling low . So what is empathy ? Empathy is feeling for that person and understanding their situation while sympathy is feeling sorry for the person. What are the examples of empathy ?    1. " It must have been very hard for you to go through all this ". 2. " I would feel the same way too if I was in your position ".  3. " I understand how you feel " . Now we move on to the next question.  Why is empathy so important ?  Empathy is important and crucial because it makes people feel like they are being heard  and not being judged . In addition to that , empathy  makes people feel like they are being understood and validated. So next time if someone comes to you with their problems , use empathy.  Written by , Jocelyn.

Walking around the garden of peace,  Makes me feel as light as a wind-blown leaf And all at once I felt free, The freedom that I have long to obtain. So why do you look sorrowful oh self ? And why the sad face you display?  Is there something that you are hiding oh self ? To be in this secret position. My heart then yearns for something more, For it yearns for something deep  Peace like a flowing river, And peace like there is no war to begin. Then why are you in such pain oh self ? Even when you tried to ignore it . Did something happened to you oh self ? That leads you to self grieving. Written by,  Jocelyn. 

     The Ramadan buffet was packed with people hastening here and there .     There were people singing Ramadan songs too .       The dinner was ok . I liked the asam laksa cause the soup was a bit spicy .  For those of you who don't know , I actually like spicy hehehe ......       There were two types of satay . One is chicken and the other was beef .  I like the chicken satay . The taste of it was soft but firm meat .  There's one more thing . The marshmallow dipped in the chocolate fountain !        The taste of the chocolate was unbelievably nice and it also tastes like real real chocolate.  Overall , I would give this Ramadan buffet 4 stars out of five .  Thank you :)  Written by ,  Jocelyn.
