Empathy Fiction Stranger

More From Barbara Kingsolver

Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. one starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please. i read less and less fiction these days, finding the buzz and the joy i used to get from fiction in ever stranger works of non-fiction, or poetry.

Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy. they have good emotional empathy, but they don't have much empathy for the autistic kid who is screaming at the baseball game because he can't stand the sensory overload. or the autistic kid having a meltdown in the school cafeteria because there's too much stimulation.

I believe in empathy. i believe in the kind of empathy that is created through imagination and through intimate, personal relationships. i am a writer and a teacher, so much of my time is spent interpreting stories and connecting to other individuals. it is the urge to know more about ourselves and others that creates empathy. through imagination and our desire for rapport, we transcend our limitations, freshen our eyes, and are able to look at ourselves and the world through a new and alternative lens.

I'm determined to disagree with people without being disagreeable. that's part of the empathy. empathy doesn't just extend to cute little kids. you have to have empathy when you're talking to some guy who doesn't like black people.

Life, my dear watson, is infinitely stranger than fiction; stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. we could not conceive the things that are merely commonplace to existence. if we could hover over this great city, remove the roofs, and peep in at the things going on, it would make all fiction, with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions flat, stale and unprofitable.

To me, money is a vehicle; it's a tool. i could use it as a weapon to destroy things or money can create-you can create an opportunity, you can create a charity, you can create things for your family, you can go do something for your family that nobody else would ever do. you can create educational opportunities, you can feed people overseas. and there's a tremendous leverage with money, or you can destroy people with it.

Since philosophy is the art which teaches us how to live, and since children need to learn it as much as we do at other ages, why do we not instruct them in it? .. but in truth i know nothing about the philosophy of education except this: that the greatest and the most important difficulty known to human learning seems to lie in that area which treats how to bring up children and how to educate them.

I've probably saved thousands of peoples' lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything.
