Empathy vs. sympathy.
Put simply, empathy is recognizing and sharing in another person's feelings.
Sympathy means recognizing someone's emotions, but empathy takes it a step further—with empathy, you feel the same emotion as the other person because you can imagine yourself in their place.
The difference may seem small, but it’s not. In order to effect true change in the world, we need to first recognize the feelings of others, fully understand the weight of a person’s situation—best done by imagining ourselves in the same scenario—and then feel compelled to act.”

Empathy is not only about figuring out how someone is feeling, but also caring enough to do something about it.
