Edward Thomas was almost certainly bothered by the ongoing World War in his short time as a poet. He was the writer of “The Owl”: the poem which shows his concern most clearly. It is posted on the website below -

Empathy implies feeling another person’s emotion with them. For example, creating empathy is part of storytelling, because our empathy towards the characters turns what could have been just a collection of drawn out descriptions into an emotional road trip. Doesn’t compassion on the other hand imply feeling the need to take action for the sake of someone else?
Arts like music, movies, comics… all of it, are linked to empathy, but what part of us is about compassion?
