RE: Empathy and Feeling Too Much
As far as I understand, I think empathy is a feeling which makes us a sensitive human being. A person who understands others' problem and feelings. He/she don't hurt others and take care that his/her action don't harm others.
But an emotional person in different from an empathetic person. He/she is impulsive. An emotional person thinks his/her feeling are the most important. He/she don't much care about others feeling.
However, we cannot clearly say who is empathetic and who is emotional because a person can react emotionally or rationally according to situation and time. After all we are not a simple creation of nature.
Empathy is paramount for us being where we are as a cooperative society and as individuals moving into the future. Emotions are problematic at times, but that's why we need to reason as well, not simply feel something ;)
