What is the difference between Pity and Empathy? Does Grace and forgiveness require Empathy?
Interesting points that I haven't ever thought about before.
Empathy - The intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
Pity - sympathetic or kindly sorrow evoked by the suffering, distress, or misfortune of another, often leading one to give relief or aid or to show mercy.
