Empathy

There was a little girl on a train station. Her daddy jumped inside the coach while she and her mummy were running behind. That was when she cried terrified for the first time. The real shriek of horror and bursting with anger, frustration and sense of lost, happened when daddy tried to block the door with her scooter and favourite toy attached to it, fell straight under the train's wheels.
'It was just a toy' everybody thought.
Except the girl.

Another, entirely different girl in entirely different place was playing with her friends.
Suddenly the world around her exploded with fire, dust, smoke and layD dancing around. 
They showed her in the news asking you why the lider of her country kills
his own people.
I hear your mind outbursting: 'how dare you comparing those two!'
The truth is you don't give a shit about either of them.
equally
and that's the comparison. 
You create definition of words like empathy. But it's just a word or empty sound. 
The empathetic guy was working for the rail company. When he announced the late of a train, his voice was trembling. He was able to imagine how two minutes of delay could affect hundreds of passangers' individual lives. 
His voice broke when he said how sorry he was for the delay. 
They sacked him for taking a piss.
