My wife use to have the same attitude towards the suffering of others. At least that was her attitude until God allowed events to occur in her life to bring some suffering in her life. Now she is more sympathetic to the infirmities in the lives of others, even to the infirmities that she has not experience in her life.
The same has occured to me. I can sympathize with her dificulties and pains even though I can not empathize with many of them.
