Puzzles....
Something has been puzzling me for very long.
Why is it that even though I never had the experience of falling in love with anyone, much less breaking up,
but my heart aches whenever I listen to songs about lost love and so on?
Is it because I feel sorry for myself for not being able to have these bitter-sweet memories?
Or is it because I feel sorry for the lost love in the song?
And why is it that even though Im only 20 this year,
yet I share the anguish and helplessness which an abandoned old character in a movie feels?
Do feelings actually all stem from the same root? Starting from putting yourself in other shoes?
If it is so, wouldn't compassion actually be self-pity in disguise? We only feel for the others because we imagine the same unfortunate incident happening to us?
Im confused, I really am.

I think many emotions are essentially universal, and all of us (real complete humans) are capable of feeling those. Sometimes a certain experience might trigger a certain emotion, but it doesn't mean that this particular emotion must necessarily be associated only with this experience. Thus I think we can all feel for certain things even though we might not have directly experienced them before.
