-So the idea behind mirror neurons is that they fire during experiences in which we feel that we can understand the pain, for example, of someone being stabbed to the point that we "feel" it as well.
-Some simply call it empathy while others go as far to say that it is a psychological process that comes from having similar experience.
-I personally don't buy the idea that a part of my brain sees the pain of others and decides to set off my pain receptors as some kind of physical empathy process, don't logically follow.

But why does this only occur in instances of pain or grief, at least in my experience. Why don't these "false tirggers" occur when I am in the company of individuals that have struck it rich?
