Thinking about empathy has greatly impacted my opinion on life. Under the Surface made me question what people what is going on beneath people’s actions and words. At first I might have overlooked the fact that someone looks a bit sad or is acting pessimistic, but now I realize that there could be something going on.

For me when I am in one of these situations I…
