Planetfrog,
Having thought about it, I suppose we all share part of eachother, a common mind. If you see someone cut their finger you go: "Ouch!" You might even feel pain in your finger where the cut is on theirs.
At a higher soul level the finger belongs to both of you.
This I think is also the source of guilt. You feel uncomfortable when you treat someone badly, even if its only subconscious guilt. This is because at a higher level you are actually hurting yourself. This is the principle of Karma.
It works the same way with good things too. We buy people presents on their birthday because it makes us feel good seeing their happiness... it's OUR happiness.
