A sense of empathy helps people to understand more about others' situation. One of the few films that made me fall into tears and my favorite film is 'Edward Scissorhands'. It is about a made man who was made up by an old man who died soon afterwards in the castle, and was taken down to the downtown only to be foosied and insulted. ince when I put myself into this made man's situation, when I consider that the lonly, insulted, put-uponed, maligned, poor at communication man with a pair of inconvenient scissorhands is me, I get an extreme feeling of sorrow and despair. This feeling is very strong when I connet this to my experience of being lonely because of my boring characteristic and difference or weakness in communication, and being insulted because of my lonliness and race. Empathy for Edward moved me by heart and made me understand that there is sunshine somewhere around me; I ought to treature it.
