hm... ok, as long as it works, positive.
I'm not trying to troll or be (too) pedantic, sort of petty to argue with a mime's wording. As you illustrate, 'empathy' varies by age (not to mention form).
My roots were in 'humanism' (Rogers, Sullivan, Maslow, Beck) and I'm the first to apply the lens of (my longtime mantra) #ContextAndPerspective.

Not in the best mood, sorry, "empathizing" with what used to be my country & world.
