Hierarchy of sympathies:

1 – condition (empathy – condition sympathy) “i can sense/experience your feelings”

… 2 – imitation (action sympathy)

… … 3 – intention ( intention sympathy)

THE LESSON; Whenever you use a term:

(a) can you place it in a series, so that you know you aren’t conflating?

(b) can you narrate how the state you’re describing or naming came into existence? Or are you conflating imagination (fantasy) with possibility(existence).

(c) are the references to all your terms consistent in existential grammar? Meaning: are they all in operational language, and if not, are they in observational, are if not are they in experiential, and if not, are they in intentional? How do you know you aren’t conflating forms of existence?
