I don't think we can ever have too much empathy The deeper you feel, the more you are moved to positive action And, it's how we define a moral life Without it we are destructive, directionless, and inhuman
I get you, butttt I also feel like compassion wouldn't exist without empathy? When we feel others pain vicariously, we want to protect them for it just add we would ourselves. Anyway, I was considering them here as one and the same

If you are using them that way: ok. What people typically mean is something like “I feel your pain”. It’s about feelings. Feelings are useful sometimes: but just as a *rough* guide because they’re hazardously misleading. Hence the need for *thoughtful* kindness (compassion). :)
