Yes, fundamentally I think that SUGCAIRW means "share happiness with
someone else." In this instance I'd say that the language ought to be
understood as hO AGAPWN SUGCAIREI TWi ALHQEUONTI (or better. TWi
ALHQEUSANTI): "The one who feels loving-kindness shares the satisfaction
felt by the one who acts with integrity."
