Empathy is a useful gift.

You can’t force a boss to understand you, if they have already made their mind otherwise.

You can’t force a friend to be there for you, when their default is to not be there.

You can’t force a client to change, if they rarely ask questions or offer suggestions, and only accuse.

You can’t force any relationship to love you, if they don’t listen.

Sometimes walking away is not an option. It’s wisdom.
