Empathy is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes", or experiencing the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself, a sort of emotional resonance.

Exactly what I was saying. It even repeats the "somebody else's shoes" phrase that I used.

Me post 4912:It's our moral obligation to walk in somebody else's shoes -- not to sit back and say that only the victim can imagine what it must be like.

Me, Post 4912:Saddam's crimes were criminal to all. I pity those who have no more empathy than bystander-ness when it comes to crime and the victims of crime.

Exerpts from Websters:

The imaginative ascribing to...a feeling.

The vacarious experiencing of the feelings...of another.

I used the word correctly. You should stop with the straw man fallacy. And you did agree that celebration was in order although you still wrongly accuse many nameless posters of wanting a villan to execute.
