I feel like this came up in vFriam recently when DJT caught the virus. I mentioned having empathy then and that empathy was rooted in knowing what it is like to be sick. I am not sure empathy requires wanting something for another, wanting them to be well for instance. To some extent, this seems like a difference wrt sympathy where one has a reactive component. To some extent, I may wish to see a nazi punched and still empathize with the experience of being punched.
