Why is it that I feel so much empathy for people?

The guy who lives upstairs from me is an alcoholic. He stumbles around in the night and wakes us up, he throws up loudly every morning and makes me feel sick. I feel deeply sorry for him. My boyfriend can't understand why I feel sorry for him. My boyfriend is just annoyed by him, and the fact that I feel sorry for him, makes my boyfriend even more annoyed.

Yesterday I heard about what happened to Amy Johnson. It made me cry. I bet it did't make anyone else cry. Shouldn't my incessant video gaming have de-sensatized me to things like this by now?

I can't bare anyone to be dissapointed. It gives me an awful hollow feeling inside.

I can't look at the shocking picture of chemical and biological warfare victims that appear in the papers, because I wouldn't be able to stop myself crying.

Sometimes I feel that I have no right to be happy unless every one in the world is happy. I feel guilty when I am happy.

I feel guilty every time I walk past a homeless person. Especially because I have so much and I don't give something to everyone of them.

I wonder if there is something wrong with me that I feel this way. I don't know anyone else who feels this "World Pain".

I don't think you should ever feel guilty about your own happiness. Everyone deserves to be happy.

And I don't think you should worry about feeling so much empathy for the suffering of others. Compassion is the most beautiful human trait. There is no higher virtue. Without it, the world would truly be doomed.
