The theory of empativity

[gurdonark]

from the imaginary dictionary of improvised words:

"Empativity"--having that quality of resonance with everyone and everything around one; a sensation that one is part of some universal rush of lives lived. Example: "I feel a great empativity when I walk through airports, tasting small dollops of lives which remain wholly unfamiliar to me, and yet feel so much a part of me".

I love that. I'm going to add it to my vocabulary - with proper credit due to the improvisor, of course.

I had to google it, just to make sure it wasn't already in use, because it seemed so natural :)
