I feel that there are elementary pieces of knowledge that every decent human being should learn, and seeing how there are very few decent human beings, one little page dedicated to it should be enough...

1. The Difference Between Empathy and Sympathy
     Emapthy: Identification with and understanding of another's situation, feelings, and motives.
     Sympathy: A feeling or an expression of pity or sorrow for the distress of another; compassion or commiseration.
So, sympathy is feeling sorry for someone and empathy is actually projecting your imagination to such a point that you actually feel what the other person is feeling. Sympathy is pity and Empathy is understanding. Learn the difference and stop feeling sympathetic, and empathize.
 
2. Everything and Anything is Going to Kill You

VCR's are very good... especially in pieces scattered around my room...
