This is emotionally described by scientists when you face other people's pain and are moved to resolve these problems (Wei, Liao, Ku, & Shaffer, 2011). While empathy generally relates to our capacity to comprehend and feel other people's emotions, when it includes the desire to assist in emotions and ideas, abuse is a form of selfless conduct, often through the feelings of compassion runs, individuals may feel compassion without working on it, and humanity is not always driven by mercy (Zessin, Dickhäuser, & Garbade, 2015)
