If I could have any superpower, what would it be?
Hi hivers
Happy weekend to you all
One superpower
Hive can be wild west sometimes, anything can happen. So imagine you can choose a superpower, but you must choose only one so you have to do that carefully. What superpower will you choose? How will you use it? Any plans on doing something special?
Imagine I woke up one morning with a new superpower, what's next? What happens?
And what superpower would it be?
Some persons indeed already have this superpower and it's something that can be learn able if you have the right resources.
It's not teleportation, its not super sonic speed.
Well I've decided what my superpower would be:
Empathy
What is empathy:
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feeling of others.
I believe "superpower" is anything that makes a person extraordinary is a special blend of both talent and hard work. I maybe talented at some things, but I am fully aware that hard work trumps everything else, and every single one of us is capable of doing hard work every second of everyday.
Why I choose Empathy?
Empathy is an emotionally intelligent skill, because it's a skill, it can be developed.
We all have our own problems, our own stressors, our own joys, our own stories. So why not listen, why not listen to what everyone has to say and realise that everyone has wisdom they can share with you and help you along your path. Perhaps you have wisdom you can share with them and help them along their own path as well.

Empathy can just be listening but it's also sharing, " to walk in other people's shoes"
Imagine you can feel everything, not just the things that happens to you but also the things that happens to people around you.
Some people say it is difficult to emphatise if you haven't experienced what they have experienced, but that is false, we all live lives that share common threads, and we can always relate to these threads.
I just want to feel what others are feeling and help them at every point in time, sharing in their joyous moment, putting a smile on peoples face.
Thank you for reading
Cheers🌹🌹
I didn't know empathy was a super power. I would classify it as a type of emotion which anyone can actually have if they make an effort. I feel it can't be classified as super power going by the definition of super power but since it's not everyone who can show empathy, it takes a great deal of work then I can also say it's only a super human that would go the length of allowing themselves feel exactly what others feel. Nice write up.
Like you read my mind. Not everyone would want to feel the pains of others.
I was kind of confused to classify it as a superpower but the thing is that most people lack it...
Thank you for stopping by, and your point is awesome
You are such a sweet soul to choose this kind of superpower: Empathy. Amazing entry my dear. ❤❤
Thank you so much for stopping by..
Very much appreciated
It seems to me that empathy is a superpower that you already possess. Even though empathy is something that is hard to see, every human actually possesses this power. When you see someone weeping as a result of a bad experience, or you hear the story of Nelson Mandela and how he suffered in prison during the Apartheid reign in south africa, you feel something, some people cant explain it, but you definitely get to feel that person's pain or distress in a way, no matter how small it may be. That thing you feel is empathy... It's what makes us all human.
Most people won't show it even when they feel your pain. Like you said it's very hard to see it.
Thank you for stopping by
Wow
That's really interesting
I never knew this could be a superpower but reading through your blog and seeing the way you structured it, I am indeed impressed
Goodluck
Thank you so much.

I'll indeed regard empathy as a super power because many people lack it. Many search for it and many despise it.
Well, this Superpower can only be wield by those who care more about the other: those who are other-centred and not self-centred.
It's a good one, however, what has advantages also has disadvantages, especially when it is in an extreme case.
Yeah like they say, excess of everything is bad.
Thank you so much
This kind of power will come with quite some responsibility. Because getting to feel for everyone can also make you a rollercoaster of emotions, you will be a jumble of highs and lows seeing as you are also experiencing the good and bad times of those around you.
But then, you would be able to help them feel better about themselves.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
