Wise Wednesday #3 - Empathy

I must admit that the title of this weeks link, 'A Platitude of Attitude' over at By Common Consent, is what really inspired me to read it.  However, I found the sentiment really inspiring.  The premise that "certitude can kill empathy" really lets one know that often the more you are certain you know, the less you are willing to listen to another's point of view.  The heart of Christianity is really one person/God not only being an example, but being willing to listen and understand.
