Compassion vs. Empathy vs. Sympathy
'Compassion' includes a desire to help, while 'empathy' is understanding another's feelings, and 'sympathy' is feeling sorrow for their suffering. Example: 'I feel empathy for your loss' (understanding), 'I have compassion for you and want to help' (action).

Compassion in Action
Compassion is not just feeling; it must lead to action. A compassionate person doesn't just pity others but seeks to relieve their suffering.
어원
From Latin 'compassio' (com- 'together' + pati 'to suffer'), meaning 'to suffer with'. Entered English via Old French 'compassion' in the 14th century.
사용 참고
