Love turns to empathy when one sees God in all, <br />The sharing of the self in life's rise and fall. <br />Fostered humbleness, blooms the empathy's flower, <br />And with it God's bliss, spontaneously showers. <br /> <br />While sympathy is Ego’s hubris, <br />Authority of superiority finds release <br />Empathy is a cry for other’s suffering, <br />Sharing oneness with all human beings <br /> <br />Sympathy is worldly and mercy it may trace, <br />Empathy sees itself in all living face. <br /> <br />.<br /><br />Bazi alis Subrata Ray<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/empathy-and-sympathy/
