There are times in our life when one thing happens, not necessarily on us but to someone else, and we vicariously or indirectly experience that person's feelings.

In the event that you see someone suffering, you may be able to immediately put yourself in that's perspective and feel compassion for what they have been experiencing.

That is empathy, and it is the capacity to envision oneself in someone else's shoes, see things from their perspective, and empathize with them. To put it simply, empathy is the ability to understand what other individuals feel.

It sounds like sympathy, but you should know that these two are different. To be sympathetic means, you see things from your own point of view. In order to demonstrate empathy, you may gonna put yourself in the shoes of another. 

The ability to empathize with others is a fundamental human trait. It's a care for other people's well-being. It's not the same as sympathy.  It's about being able to relate with the mental and physical anguish of an individual or a group dealing with issues that we've encountered. Numerous lives will be saved as a result of this compassionate attitude.

Furthermore, empathy is the ability to identify with another person's emotions. When we say that we have sympathy, it is more on the mind.   They are both positive attributes that contribute to overall well-being. It is a beautiful thing to live in a society where individuals try to comprehend the viewpoints of others and provide assistance to those who need it. Using these two ideas may allow you to take effective action in your life.

It's simpler to get within your own brain, but going into the thoughts of another person might be more difficult. To put ourselves in someone else's shoes, we must be able to experience compassion. It makes it possible for people to connect with the feelings of others. As difficult as it is to be compassionate, we should all strive to be caring whenever someone tells us about their concerns.

For example, a guy who believes that his friend lied to him. His suspicions that he was telling lies about himself harmed their friendship. There were times when he attempted to persuade and convince. However, he was adamant and continued to say things that hurt his heart. He tried to convince himself that maybe, he wasn't a genuine friend to protect his feelings.

He empathized as he considered the reasons for his beliefs. Being in his position made sense. Despite the pain, he was able to see the broader picture. Realizing that he might have her personal grounds for saying what he did, he found a way to deal with himself and his friend.

As of these days, especially to what is happening in other nations, we feel empathy. As we watch on the news and on various photos online, we feel sympathy. It really breaks anyone's heart that others in other parts of the world are afraid regarding their lives at this specific moment and what we could do is to pray that peace will pervade in the atmosphere.

May God grant that in the hearts of the rulers of the nations in conflict there may be empathy and sympathy for their neighbor. May God in his infinite mercy always seeds of peace in every nation
