To me empathy means when you show or sacrifice your time to help
out another. It also means when people can feel what others are feeling.
For example:
Not long ago there was a shooting down at Christchurch at a
mosque. Many lives has past, many families are grieved and
brokenhearted, and also many people around the world are showing
empathy. They are showing empathy by visiting the mosques where
the shooting took place and even for people that are not in Christchurch,
they go to there local mosque and show their empathy.
People also are praying for the victims and the families of each of them.
Most people are showing there empathy / condolences through social
media where the whole globe can see. There is also people donating
their own money from their pockets to help out and give what they can.
Families of those who are hurt and have sustained injuries, visit the
hospital and give them flowers. Even random people are visiting the
injured and grieving them by flowers, balloons anything that can or
will cheer them up.
