Empathy can be understood as the ability to perceive, understand, and vicariously share in the thoughts, feelings and experiences of another living being.
It comprises the cognitive process of identifying another’s emotional state and the affective process of experiencing similar sensations within oneself.
Empathy differs from sympathy when the perspective-taker responds by feeling with another’s perceived emotional state.
Empathic concern can motivate compassionate action (e.g., helping another in distress).
Scott must be going through some therapy. Hey, if this represents a change from the usual conservative “step OVER, not ON the poors” empathy/compassion attitude, great.
