Empathy: The ability to understand someone else's feelings as if they are you own.
Empathy doesn't mean that you have to have lost something or had something happen to you the same as the person in the situation to empathize. Empathy is not a gift, you have to build up your empathy to truly empathize. Empathy can help people and change their lives even when it doesn't happen to you.
Empathy is important because often you use it without knowing. Empathy can make he difference between friend and enemy.
