I'm a firm believer that empathy has the potential to solve more problems than war and peace put together. From a philosophical standpoint, being able to see the world from another person's point of view can break down a lot of barriers between people.
From a more practical one, boosting your empathic ability could give your fundraising results a shot in the arm.
