empathy (bartlett's dictionary)
Identification with and understanding of another's situation, feelings, and motives.
when I read this definition of empathy, honestly I can't always do accordingly in all situation because there were some circumstances that was hard for me to emphaty. maybe when we the hard times comes, we could better think to care about others' feeling and condition...
but if we actually can empathize all the time, many people will feel secure because of the understanding that we provide.
sympathy :
1. a. The act or power of sharing the feelings of another.
b. A feeling or an expression of pity or sorrow for the distress of another;
compassion or commiseration.
and sympathy is just share of feeling...
empathy is refered to an understandable situation. being understood is more pleasing compare to just being sympathized by others. emphaty will create secure feeling.
