And Hashem said,
"I have surely seen [rao raisi] the pain of my people who are in Egypt..."
Sympathy and Empathy. 2 visions. Hashem sees 2 separate things.
Sympathy is seeing and feeling bad. Empathy is feeling what you are seeing.
Seeing with eyes of another. Hearing with the ears of another.
Feeling with the heart of another.
Hashem saw. He sympathized. And He empathized. He heard the cries of their hearts.
He saw their physical pain and "felt" their emotional pain.
"Vihalachta Bedrachaiv."
Let us Walk in His Ways!
