Usage : {
Sympathy }, {
Commiseration }.
Sympathy is literally a fellow -
feeling with others in their varied conditions of joy or of grief .
This term ,
however ,
is now more commonly applied to a fellow -
feeling with others under affliction ,
and then coincides very nearly with commiseration .
In this case it is commonly followed by for ;
as ,
to feel sympathy for a friend when we see him distressed .
The verb sympathize is followed by with ;
as ,
to sympathize with a friend in his distresses or enjoyments . "
Every man would be a distinct species to himself ,
were there no sympathy among individuals ."
