Compassion... a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering
I am an extreme empath.. by definition, an empath is:
a person with the ability to understand or perceive the mental and/or emotional state of another individual.
It is more of a curse than a blessing as I am like a walking MRI, feeling the emotional and physical pain of others. It was very difficult when I was dating as I would know a persons unresolved issues immediately.
You can blindfold me and I still feel the tightening of throat muscles, the knots in the stomach, the knives in the back..... (I can’t feel it around narcissists as they are so self centered they do not generate feelings, they imitate them)
“accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering’
by taking other peoples money at gunpoint (gov’t does that) and giving it to the suffering?
Suffering how? small tv? Nothing but cheese and pasta or pbj sandwiches for lunch? slow internetz? Obsolete I-phone?
