Empathy: (noun) the quality or process of entering, through imagination, into another's feelings or emotions or motives. This is the dictionary definition according to the world book dictionary.
Granted this definition isn't wrong, but it isn't really workable for the average human being.
My definition is shown by this picture. I think that empathy is being able to stand in someone else shoes and hence feel what they are feeling not through pity but through understanding.

OOMPA LOOMPAS RULE!!!!!LOL nice shoe :P
thanks I think my shoe is pretty awesome as well, I would have done a pic of my Converse but I was wearing it at the time. lol
If we all took a walk in someone else's shoes...what would the world be like? More compassion for fellow man? More human interest vs news making headlines? More understanding than anger? More seeing both sides of the coin? What was the statement...Walk a mile in my shoes and then judge me...
