Empathy Quote by Joe Gebbia

“Sympathy relies on a common experience. If you're clumsy, you might have sympathy for others who tend to bump into things. Empathy, on the other hand, is the ability to understand another person's feelings even if you've never experienced them yourself.” quote by Joe Gebbia — Download Open image
