Ok, redi, so, 1st you say you don't understand me, then you tell Prankster that YOUR opinion is more compassion than "real empathy" and then go and post "People are just ignorant!"
Do you see the irony in what you just done?
Fyi, I have almost died so many times I have actually lost count, sometimes just narrowly avoiding something, sometimes just being lucky, and 2 times saved by doctors, i've been there when people close to me died in their final moments, please do not attempt to give me a lecture on what empathy is.
There are people in the world without a home, without a roof over their head, without clean water to drink, and there are people who are outright treated in the worst ways humanly possible, people of all ages enslaved/raped/tortured/killed, and then there are people like you, who get over-emotional because they get called a word and act like they are some sort of trama victim and feel so hurt when they don't even BEGIN to understand the real pain a human can go through, some of which I have been through myself, this is why I feel no "empathy" as you call it for something as INSIGNIFICANT as this.
