It is impossible to empathize with someone unless we have been there.
But thankfully - we can still SYMPATHIZE with people and be compassionate and help to grow each other :)
I'd love to hear about how you tested it on yourself! heheh

It happened a few times, but after the first time, I knew it worked. When a person throws insults or fists at you (but not yet), I was reminded that responding back would get me nowhere. But I was seething a lot myself at the time. I exhaled, made a bitter smile of understanding, and said that I understood everything. It was sincere. Because I really saw the man's pain. Every aggressive person is in terrible pain. And it doesn't matter how wrong he is at the moment. That pain is genuine, which he can't cope with and doesn't know what to do with. If you sincerely understand it, you get on his wavelength. You see the bewilderment in his eyes at first, and then even sympathy sometimes. After all, he hasn't seen such a reaction from anyone before most of the time. This is a world that is not in his mind. But this world is there! It's in my mind. And it's beautiful just because of that...
Thank you for asking that question! I really needed to get it out.)
