Is Sympathy Better Than Empathy?

I would say that you've taught me how to be a bit empathetic. I wasn't the most... More sympathy, actually, rather than empathy. Sympathy is just showing your kind of caring and sympathetic nature. If I were to feel it's naturally in my heart then I think that is empathy. So what about understanding your emotions? Oh, yeah, maybe, but I'm resentful of that. Because I remember you said to me once, before he met you, I didn't know whether I was happy or not. Well, I was just happy. No, you just lived.
