Well, literature wouldn't mean a thing if you cannot feel pain of others. To undertsand someone else, to be emphatic is also a requirement for the reader. I'm willing to bet all my money and property that there are two types of people out there(among others, not JUST two of them). One of them is just without the ability to sympathize, they would feel nothing from a story. The other is a sadist, and they would enjoiy the suffering of others.





You are one of the thinking types, pondering what if's. I'm just the pitying type, wishing for heroes to be free of suffering through one way or another.
