Empathy and Sympathy

It is a beautiful thing when a person empathizes with another, makes a way to understand. We want to be understood. Yet sympathy leaves another beautiful and supportive, but also different feeling.

There is first-hand understanding, and hope built into their existence when the sympathizer's life attests to survival with positivity and function despite it

They both are supportive and intuitive, but just with a different structure; it is amazing to feel cared for either way.
