It is really scaring how many people are like this, no empathy for others. We are in the same situation now with all the refugees fleeing violence in their home countries and the lack of understand and basic empathy for their lives and needs. Sick, Effing Sick!!!!

Whoa, pathway. . .I appreciate the threads you have started in this forum, that have led to interesting discussions, so I’m certainly not trying to invalidate or devalue anything, but this seems a little . . . well, over the top? Which could maybe lead to some more interesting discussion?
Seems to me that Europe is doing a pretty good job of trying to take care of the refugees. Not perfect, but pretty good. Or maybe you were talking some people in the US who don’t want them here?
It’s wonderful that you would like to help other people. Without some compassion and caring in the world then the world would be in bad shape, I think. But if others don’t share your passion, I don’t think it makes them sick or psychos necessarily. Politics, and people, are complicated.
Also, for some perspective: the word “empathy” has been commonly used only in the last couple of decades. It was coined in 1909 by a British psychologist, based on some studies he was familiar with by a German psychologist.
Anyway, Merry you-know-what, everybody!
Love-ya,
