So ... no, not really.
2. No. But that doesn't necessarily mean I won't make an effort to help her.
You can use me as a basis for the lowest end of the "empathy spectrum."

Thanks Myers
What would you be able to do for the orphan - or was that just hypothetical, in case she decides to go jump in the lake...and you happen to be in town. If that's the case, feel free to stop by for coffee.
Don't go giving yourself any gold stars for scoring lowest on the empathy level. My particular spectrum has no beginning or end - it's just one big ole ball of confusion.
