Empathy for other people's feelings can help you to think about and respect the ideas of others when establishing common ground with your opponent.
Empathy refers to the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation.
Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference. To put it simply, the capacity to place oneself in another's position.
