Do you feel strong sympathy when you see bad news?

Question

Like when you see the news of people killing each other in Iraq, racism in America, desparate criminals, socially rejected people.

Answer 1

YES. But without empathy nothing good would happen. We can do things for people and animals and the earth, if we want to. We don't need to be rich.

Give a sandwich to one homeless person a day, feed the stray cat, recycle, buy a couple extra cans of food and give them to the homeless shelter or abuse shelter, volunteer at an animal shelter or just speak out against crime, cruelty, injustice, prejudice and bigotry.

Answer 2

Sometimes yes, the news is so sad and there are so many innocent people getting hurt.

Answer 3

yes, and whats worse is sometimes there isnt anything u can do to help them,

Answer 4

yes I do...which is why I dont watch the news most of the time- who wants to hear about people hurting other people?? I say ignorance is bliss

Answer 5

Yes and l can't help but feel their pain at times when l'm watching the news.

l say a prayer for them.

Answer 6

what really is hard is when you feel peoples pain and know you cant change it.
