What you have described is called empathy. I am an attuned person, too! Whenever I hear or read someone else&#8217;s story, I attach my feelings to theirs. Time and again I have felt the pain of others as my own. I&#8217;m often glad to have the ability to empathize with others. Why? Because it helps me understand their pain. It helps me gain knowledge and understanding on a much deeper level. In my opinion, that&#8217;s the best way to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for your thoughts and compliments! I am glad to hear that your pain subsided once you gained peace at the end of reading my story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Wishing you all my best!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Kellie on 03 Jun 2010 at 2:15 am How are you?
