Do you mean "empiphany" or "empathy"? I'll explain both.
Empathy is when you are able to feel another creature's pain. It goes byond simply feeling bad for them, which is sympathy. If they are sad, you feel sad. It's like this book I read called "Love That Dog". If you are extremely empathetic, the way I am, just reading the title will make you want to cry, and by the middle of the book you will be bawling your eyes out.
Empiphany is sort of an awakening. It's when you realize something, and your whole life is enlightened by this realization. In a religious context? Hmm...Siddhartha Gautama had an epiphany and became the founder of Buddhism! In fact, "Buddha" means "the enlightened one". I'm pretty sure Jesus had some empiphanies, too. Sometimes people have empiphanies and decide to stop being so gosh darn sinful! For example, a man could beat his wife every day. After she leaves him, he might realize that beating his wife was BAD, and decide that from that day on he will never beat anybody, but instead open up a plush bunny chainstore and become an international success.

well if you mean empathy, it means that you understand what another person is going through. like, you've been in that situation before and you understand their feelings towards the situation. -audreyy
