“I can’t have empathy for something that has never happened to me.”
**************************************************************
Wow...such a really big heart.
Empathy is when you say “I know what you’re going through”. Because it has happened to you, too. It is a very powerful emotion. I can’t help it when people don’t know what words mean, and then jump to conclusions that are not correct, and want to call me names. LOL.
I certainly have sympathy, who would not?
But you, like so many others, are missing the point. I can’t be persuaded by the news organization to care more about a celebrity news reader’s 85 year old mom more than the other 1000 missing (not so famous) persons in Arizona.
