for what they are." - Marcus Aurelius

Empathy is allowing others in your shared reality to be who they are and unconditionally loving them for who they are with no attachment or desire to feel like you have to fix or save them.
There's a necessary balance to stepping in and stepping out of the lives of others and your heart will tell you when it's time to step in and when it's time to step out. Love them and let them be themselves and they'll find their own way when they are ready.
Love everybody and all things because everybody and all things are God, they are aspects of you. If you choose to hate another you're choosing to hate an aspect of God, which of course is choosing to hate an aspect of yourself.
Allow others to experience what they need to experience, you can only love them and help them connect to their Godhood by showing them the way through your actions and the example you set.
