Is it right to try to gain sympathy?
Empathy is a means of obtaining Resources from others. If you don't need to get resources from others, you don't need to get empathy. The need for empathy from others depends on the circumstances of the project.

It is a bad idea to think "this kind of project will be easily sympathetic" when planning a project.
Whether or not you get sympathy, it is important to have the feeling that this is the kind of future you want to realize.
If you need the help of others to move forward with that project, empathy is needed after the fact.
I know it's a quick note, but you're talking about some pretty hard stuff...
