Connection Isn’t Built on Access—It’s Built on Attention
As our relationships grow more transactional and our attention more fragmented, empathy risks becoming diluted—spread thin across screens, scripts, and social norms. And yet, beneath the noise, a quiet truth remains: empathy is not extinct. It’s evolving. Fluid. Fragile. And perhaps it is more vital than ever.
