people with low/no empathy don't need to "make up" for it by having sympathy. It's completely okay to have neither :)

Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.

Nothing says "I love you" as clearly as white lilies—ironic, since they're some of the region's most poisonous flowers.
Some mages believe that these lilies contain a mysterious magic, but attempts to harness this power have only resulted in lethal poisonings. ☠

Someone sent me a letter that had one of the best quotes I've ever read. It said "What is to give light must endure burning." It's by a writer named Viktor Frankl. I've been turning that quote over and over in my head. The truth of it is absolutely awe-inspiring. In the end, I believe it's why we all suffer. It's the meaning we all look for behind the tragedies in our lives. The pain deepens us, burns away our impurities and petty selfishness. It makes us capable of empathy and sympathy. It makes us capable of love. The pain is the fire that allows us to rise from the ashes of what we were, and more fully realize what we can become. When you can step back and see the beauty of the process, it's amazing beyond words.

'"Keep me away from the wisdom
which does not cry,
the philosophy
which does not laugh
and the greatness
which does not bow before children."

Only those burdened with a common affliction understand each other. Thanks to their affliction they constitute a circle and provide each other mutual support.
