Memory trick · Prashant Sir

PATHY = feeling। Sympathy में आप किसी के दुख पर सहानुभूति जताते हैं; empathy में आप उसकी feelings वैसे ही महसूस करते हैं जैसे वह करता है — भावनाएँ match। Apathy = कोई feeling ही नहीं।

PATHY means feeling. Sympathy is feeling sorry for someone; empathy is feeling exactly what he feels, because you have been through the same pain — the feelings match. Apathy is the absence of feeling.

Exam note
