I found this at www.EmpathySymbol.com. The simple peace sign has always seems just a little too simple to me. I believe empathy is a quality that is too often lacking in business, politics and life in general. I also believe that empathy is probably one of the most important forms of human intelligence.

Give Empathy A Chance!
a symbol for today
Use the Empathy Symbol to Foster Connection
Heinz Kohut defined empathy as "the capacity to think and feel oneself into the inner life of another person.” We think that's what the world needs today. As the cultural wars rage — West vs. East, Judeo/Christians vs. Muslims, Red States vs. Blue States — what we all need is to walk in each others' shoes, to empathize with the other’s position, situation, upbringing, life experiences and feelings. Empathy leads to respect and caring for each other, and that is the sure path to peace.
The empathy symbol stands for reaching out to the “other” and then opening up to truly understand each other. Use the empathy symbol to indicate your support for a world in which we all can get along.

Does anyone still work at iKarma.com? If so, how come no-one ever replies to emails? How can I delete my account?
Reason: there appears to be an iKarma virus where the url attaches to my autosignature when others reply in Plain Text.
Does anyone know how to stop this?
