Well, it's both but ultimately we only care about the suffering of ourselves and others because ourselves and others are capable of suffering. It would make no sense to care if we didn't suffer.
We do care because we suffer. We also care because we experience happiness. Basically.... our natural reaction to emotions is by valuing them either negatively or positively. God should be able to do that without feeling further emotions and without creating an irrational feedback loop like we do.. He should be able to recognize the value in the emotions of others without needing to share in them or resort to basic human empathy.
A God isn't very impressive if He has to use the same imperfect and irrational methods as we do.
