Imagine Storm Chasers following a tornado. They're excited, adrenaline pumping, enjoying the risk and adventure, maybe cheering the tornado on. At the same time they are aware that it could cause damage and death, and they feel sympathy for that. Some people are capable of feeling more than one emotion at the same time. Other people have tunnel-vision emotions, and disapprove of anyone different than them.
Some can root for both the lion and the zebra at the same time. Some can appreciate the awesome power of an earthquake, and the excitement of their own personal experience, while also feeling sympathy for those impacted.
