Or Empathetic Understanding, is the ability to intuit the emotional experiencing of another because one has, at one point or another, experienced the same thing oneself.
Sympathy is thinking about someone, but empathy is actually "Knowing" the emotion the person is experiencing, or going through.... having gone though the same emotion oneself.
When I see a fat child, being made fun of, I "know" how he or she is feeling, because I felt the exact same emotion when I was young - my "knowing" is empathy.
When I see a parent pulling a little child who's legs are exhausted, and the child is crying with pain, I "know" what that child is experiencing. I experience empathy for that child.

Rational Human Being: You guys should learn about empathy. They've probably experienced things in life you guys wouldn't even survive on your own. Being beat up and called a n*gger and sandn*gger as a child for one. Or suffering through injuries or chronic pain for over 17 years being the other.
Mike & Pat: Fuck that guy.
Rational Human Being; You guys don't get it. I'm sure there's a special place for you white privilege types.
