Empathy!
- What did you say? I asked, too astonished.
- I said, empathy. Replied the cute little bear.
- Yes, I heard you, but I actually asked again, as an involuntary act. But ..... do you talk?
- Only to certain people.
- Are you selective? Why, not to everyone?
- Precisely because of what I said at the beginning.
- Because of empathy?
The little bear was silent, as if he was thinking, or perhaps observing me.
- Do you know what is one of the biggest flaws of you humans? Lack of empathy. You have abandoned the key that opens hearts, that caresses, that unites, that communicates. Above all, that soothes the pain of the souls of those who feel alone in this beautiful world. You have failed, not only your fellow men, you have become subjects that wander in a thick and dark fog.
- Forgive me, but I must tell you that you yourself have incurred the same defect that you attribute to us. I say so, for you have said that you do not speak to all, only to some. So where is your empathy, when and how do you decide to use it? It is for me a great contradiction.
- You may be somewhat right in what you say, but there was a time when I was like that with everyone, that is, I spoke to everyone. But in recent years, something has changed very abruptly, almost as if empathy has been replaced by aggression, hatred, denial, discrimination. You know those disvalues that almost half of humanity flaunts.
- So how could we be empathetic to them, if you yourself say you are no longer empathetic?
- The answer is simple, because I am a simple teddy bear, I was made, to receive, huyy I had a failed act. I stand corrected, I was made to give love.
- I looked at him carefully, and I can be certain that tears fell on his furry cheeks. I immediately understood. I decided to ask him, are your tears a sign of abandonment?
- The now sad little bear did not answer.

Texto:

¡Empatía!
- Que dijiste? Le pregunte demasiado asombrado.
- Dije, empatía. Respondió el simpático osito.
- Sí, te escuché, pero en verdad repregunté, como un acto involuntario. Pero….. ¿tú hablas?
- Solo a ciertas personas.
- ¿Que eres selectivo? ¿porque, no a todos?
- Precisamente por lo que dije al principio.
- ¿Por empatía?
El osito, hizo un silencio, como si estuviera pensando, o tal vez observándome.
- ¿Sabes cuál es, uno de los mayores defectos de ustedes, los humanos? La falta de empatía. Han abandonada la llave que abre los corazones, que acaricia, que une, que comunica. Sobre todo, que calma el dolor de las almas, a quienes se sienten solos en este bello mundo. Ustedes le han fallado no, solo a sus semejantes, se convirtieron en sujetos que vagan en una espesa y oscura niebla.
- Perdona, pero debo decirte que tú mismo has incurrido en el mismo defecto que nos atribuyes. Lo digo, pues tú has dicho que no le hablas a todos, solo a algunos. ¿Entonces donde está tu empatía, cuando y como decides usarla? Es para mí una gran contradicción.
- Es posible que tengas algo de razón en lo que dices, pero hubo un tiempo en el que era así con todos, es decir a todos les hablaba. Pero en estos últimos años, algo ha cambiado de forma muy abrupta, casi como si la empatía la han reemplazado por agresión, odio, negación, discriminación. Ya sabes esos desvalores que hacen gala, casi la mitad de la humanidad.
- ¿Entonces, como nosotros podríamos ser empáticos con ellos, si tú mismo dices que ya no lo eres?
- La respuesta es sencilla, porque soy un simple osito de peluche, fui hecho, para recibir, huyy tuve un acto fallido. Me rectifico fui hecho para dar amor.
- Lo mire detenidamente, y puedo dar certeza que, unas lágrimas cayeron sobre sus peluditas mejillas. De inmediato entendí. Decidí preguntarle ¿acaso tus lagrimas son muestras de un abandono?
- El ahora, triste osito, no respondió.
