All Chapters of A Little Empathy Is All We Need: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

 With a wild heartbeat, I woke up from my dream and rolled over on my back from the left side of my sleep. Still a little confused and with small eyes, I felt with my right hand for Momo, my white-gray-striped cat, who usually snuggled close to me every morning, deeply asleep. But that morning Momo wasn't there. I sighed softly and looked around the room, still dazed from sleep. Saw the walls that weren't quite finished. Only the one wall that I had decided to paint a rich, sunny yellow was already finished. But for the fact that we had only been living in this house in the Netherlands for almost three weeks, we had already made ourselves very comfortable. Only the bedroom was a bit neglected. Apart from our two-meter-wide bed, in which my maternal grandparents slept, and our wardrobe, we hadn't set up anything yet. Fortunately, our wardrobe was so cheap that I could choose my clothes from bed in the morning. The bed and the wardrobe were made of light wood and were in

You should also have trusted me and my healing hands more. You would be of far greater help to your people if you had decided against this surgical procedure. You know that people generally interfere in other people's affairs. And they usually do not do this to really help their fellow human beings and to do them good, but because they simply want to drive away their boredom. With you, too, the people with whom you had closer contact made their boredom and their “oh so over-great pity” your problem with your disability. You have never suffered from your severe physical disability and never dreamed of being a non-disabled woman. Because you were born so severely physically handicapped and for this reason you don't know your life any other way! « "Yeah, I know!" I muttered. “But I got through the operation well. And the eternal pain in my right foot is almost gone. Besides, I didn't even know at the time whether my observation with your hea

Well, it's your own fault!” Jonas reproached. But when he saw my sparkling eyes, he fell silent immediately and continued to listen willingly as I immediately began to tell again. “But back then, when I didn't yet know about my witchcraft, my gift of 'foresight' scared me terribly,” I said. “Sometimes I even felt as if I could hear what my interlocutors or my playmates were thinking. Often they were just scraps of her thoughts. Most often, however, I thought I could hear and understand scraps of thoughts from Finn, my friend with whom I had been friends since childhood. Several times I wondered if it was because we had such a close bond. Because he, too, often seemed to know exactly what or what I was thinking about. However, it should take years before I properly perceived and recognized this phenomenon.I was also plagued by nightmares that haunted me during a few nights of my childhood. I kept dreaming of huge, scary-looking fig

At some point I learned from reports that Christian society saw laughter as diabolical. Hearty laughter was forbidden centuries after Christ. However, I also heard that laughter came before humans developed. So we inherited the laughter that came from the bottom of our hearts from the animals! (Who else could have brought so much happiness and warmth into our world ... ??? !!!)The term ›the creatures without hearty laughter‹, which we invented for you, is not meant to be evil! We have our own special nicknames for all of the inhabitants we discovered on busy planets.Furthermore, I not only noticed that my fellow human beings did not have a real sense of humor and happiness, but I also felt that most of them looked quite unhappy, sad and lonely. And it seemed to me that people were more or less just living side by side instead of living together. So I wish I could change something on earth. For a moment I thought about writing a book about life. I wanted

“No, that can't be said,” it came dryly and very promptly from Jonas' mouth, “because when I looked into your talking brown eyes for a few seconds, I could clearly see the jealousy in them. Yes, I know, it may sound like I am mightily convinced of myself. But I knew very soon that you liked me and also raved about me a little, even though you had told me about Finn several times. "I kissed Jonas on the tip of his nose with a smile. Because I knew that in reality he was an incredibly humble and reserved person. And he too went through many unpleasant things in his life. But for this very reason he was perhaps such a lovable and pleasant person who was liked by many people. And for the very first time in my life I had the limitless beautiful feeling of loving someone through and through in the most honest way.Yes, Jonas had awakened feelings and a love in me that I had never felt for a person before and could in no way explain or name. I just loved hi
