So , in class with Mr Ezzam , we had a gathering where some of us opened up to the whole class, telling each of everyone their problems. Tears were shed on that day. Many were emotionally affected , including me myself. Some of my classmates were bullied when they were young , some were neglected and some was unaccepted by the society. I felt empathy. I believe that is what empathy meant. Feeling with someone , understanding what they are going through and stepping into their shoes.
Sympathy is on the other hand , giving a helping hand to the victim. He may not experienced what the victim experienced first-hand but they understood how the victim felt. They understands what is going on and gave a helping hand. Trying to comfort them and not make them feel very down . Trying to bring the victim back to his/her feet. Making them realise that everything is not over, and life goes on.
