When you said that, you may not actually feel pain of others. Your intention might be to comfort the depressed. However, a recent study conducted by a group of British researchers at University College London shows that there exists "a link between certain aspects of the tactile system and empathy" "They said watching someone being touched triggers the same part of the brain as actual touch, and this connection helps explain how we understand what other people are feeling."( source: YAHOO)
