Having emotional thoughts, during an accident of any type?

Whenever I witness an accident, (for example. someone getting attacked by a dog, or a house catching on fire) emotional thoughts go through my mind. I start to think how upsetting the world can be, when an accident of some type happens. Then I start to feel bad, for the people who were involved in the accident.

Do you feel the same way, when you see some type of accident happen? Is it normal to feel this way?

Answer:
It mean that you are human. As human, we don`t like to see people suffering, even strangers. Its in fact by this way that a human being analyse his environment to know where harm can be.

If you didn`t had emotions on seeing such horrible thing, this would mean that you are a sociopath (person who don`t belive in the importance of life, person that will not have remourse killing another person). thank god that you are not like that
yes i do, when kids get abducted i sometimes cry.. i also feel bad sometimes for not being able to help.. my hubby thinks im just soft, but i think its just a kind heart, sometimes though it dosen't do you any good...
I only feel bad if I'm unable to help.
yes i feel the same way nobody like to see people suffer at lealst almost nobody
Yes, it's perfectly normal to feel this way; I often feel bad right along with other people. It's called empathy, and it's a key part of what makes us human.
I think that proves you are human. I'd worry if you didn't feel that way - it's called empathy.
sure, we all are human
