Empathy
EMPATHY as a simple description is putting yourself in someone's shoe.As describe in wikipedia, EMPATHY and Sympathy have two different meaning in detail.For example, as i watch the news on tv last night about the two cop found dead in car in his BMW i feel sympathy.How i wish he slide down his mirror while he's sleeping, than that thing couldnt happen. But again its all faith arranged by The All Mighty.
Besides, when he heard the news of a baby boy found in the mosque toilet i felt EMPATHY for the baby's mother.I can feel it, how hard the mother to deliver and left the baby there. Must be hard for her to raised the baby all by her self. I can feel how the mother wish somebody will found the baby and take care of him. That's why instead of throwing him to garbage area or somewhere else, she left it at mosque. I know how she pray to God, somebody good will found him and raised the baby.
So, now. I already use the word EMPHATY.
I am now declare the word is MINE.

inquest
in law, a body of men appointed by law to inquire into certain matters. The term also refers to the inquiry itself as well as to the findings of the inquiry. The most usual form of inquest today is that conducted by the coroner to discover the cause of a death that was sudden, violent, or occurred in prison. This inquest is similar to the proceedings of a grand jury. Witnesses are called, but a person suspected of guilt is not permitted to make a defense. Natural death, accidental death, suicide, and murder are among the possible findings. Criminal prosecution may follow a verdict of murder or culpable accident.
