An important part of living an empathetic life is frequent human interaction. It's important to cultivate curiosity about strangers just so one can put their life in perspective. For instance, the man in the picture is paying other people to tell him about their lives. This makes the person feel good, and it made him feel good for his kind act. Talking to others can help someone know how privileged they are, and, in the right state of mind, they can form empathy towards others.
