kind of like how you can think the same thought (by verbally communicating / speaking) you can feel the same feeling (by attending to emotional / postural / rate rythm and pitch of voice / facial expression) in an attuned / empathetic manner.

not numerically the same / the same token pain (i can't have the precise pain you are having in your leg right now)
but type-identical (feeling of pain or grief or sadness or whatever)
