How to use "Sympathize" in context?
When we find someone in need, our first instinct may be to help out and be sympathetic towards them. This means we feel their pain and share in their suffering. It can be hard not to feel empathetic when we see someone in need, but it's important to remember that we can't do everything. We must use our own judgement and not let our sympathies get in the way of helping others.
