................Hm, I think its too generalized. Maybe I'll add up a bit, if you don't mind :)
Fe : Its a function where you pursue external harmony, that base from an accepted view of morality, ethics, and norms. For example "Fe dominant will mediate on a dispute where the young child back talks at his/her parents, because its wrong according to accepted ethics."
Fi : Its a function where you pursue your own sense of justice, where your views in morality, ethics, and norms is in accordance to your own set of experience. Example "Fi dominant will strive for animal rights, though in retrospect animals are secondary to humanly needs ranging from eating them, using their energy to substitute humans labor. But in Fi dominant, its a personal cost that have the rights to be heard."
I hope this is enough :)

Here we go again
Both are sympathetic and empathetic. Fe aligns itself with objective values, Fi with subjective values. Their outward behaviour often reflects their orientation, but not always.
From an Fi doms perspective, Fe can appear fake and shallow and from an Fe doms perspective, Fi can appear cold or selfish.
Empthy/sympathy have little to nothing to do with the F functions until they are rationalized for action and under the conditions of consequences. All of the cognitive functions are about rationalization, either in one's own idiosyncratic way (I) or via more mainstream standards (E). Any type can have a lot of empathy/sympathy, or not have much at all. It's down to the individual. Frankly, 90% of what people think is type-related here isn't. I have no problem saying it anymore. The ignorance is just a waste of everyone's time.
