Last week in the newspaper i read that few people looted the house of a lady. the lady had let them in to their house showing sympathy as they were thirsty. they had asked for some water or refreshments.
Difficult to swallow the fact that the persons to whom the lady showed sympathy were apathetic when they decided to steal from the same person.
What you show to the other person may depend on the situation, you and the other person.
Let us try not to show sympathy where empathy is needed.
for example when you care for someone being a nurse or a relative
[Apathy may be too difficult to master and may be that is what is needed in some situations and not sympathy. unfortunately more people are showing apathy where they should be sympathetic or empathetic]
hope this makes sense
