Empathy and Sympathy

Empathy is the ability to experience the feelings with another person always. (e.g. I have empathy for those families who lost their family in the civil war.) Sympathy is acknowledging another person's difficult feelings. (e.g. My deepest sympathies go out to the families of the victims.) Empathy is active and more specific and personal than sympathy. Sympathy is passive and a more general sorrow for another person’s situation.
