Question

How sympathy and empathy difference what do you think is better?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sympathy means sharing the sorry or misfortune of another person. It is the feeling of pity and compassion for someone. Empathy means understanding exactly what someone is going through. You feel the grief, the sorrow or the heartache of the other person.

Empathy is better. It is deeper than the feeling of pity for other people. By empathy you identify yourself with the other person. It is like two people having one soul.
