Sempathy

Sempathy: noun. The capacity to recognise the emotions and feelings of other people and then understanding these emotions and feelings, potentially feeling the emotions and feelings along with the people. It is universally recognised that people who suffer from sempathy are at a great disadvantage to everyone else, as they get absolutely nothing done or achieve anything, because they spend their days feeling sorry for other people. Those foolish enough to see sempathy as an advantage have been publicly ridiculed and in some cases flogged.
