    Empathy is not sympathy. Sympathy is a form of agreement, a form of judgment. And it is sometimes the more appropriate emotion and response. But people often feed on sympathy. It makes them dependent. The essence of empathic listening is not that you agree with someone; it's that you fully, deeply understand that person, emotionally as well as intellectually.

    同理心不是同情心。同情是一種認同，一種判斷。有時候，同情是更適當的情感和回應。但人們常常依賴同情，這使他們變得依賴。共感式傾聽的精髓不在於你同意某人；而在於你在情感上和思想上完全、深入地理解那個人。
