 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash did not like empathy. She did not want anyone to be in her shoes. And she'd rather not be in Cambridge or Upstead's shoes. And she did not like pity either. People who pitied her did not understand her pain. Sympathy was a good middle ground. "Empathy is when you feel the same emotions as someone else by being in a similar situation. Which sucks in a lot of cases. Pity is when you pretend to feel the same as someone else but you're actually just being condescending and insensitive." Healer Poppy. "Sympathy is better because you can understand someone without feeling their pain." She said it. Pity was the worst by far. |
