Some people are born with more empathy, some with less.
I am very empathetic, too empathetic.
I can be sent into a depression easily by animal abuse to the extent l have to avoid news stories like that.
Not so much sympathy for humans I suppose because so often they are the perpetrators of violence. Trophy hunters and the like disgust me.

As a child the family cat was one of my best friends. He played with me I watched him eat, he followed me when I went for a walk.
Who am I kidding, he was my only friend.

My days were spent on my own in our long garden, I watched bugs, butterflies, spiders spinning their webs, listened to birds singing.
People never seemed kind to me.
Suppose thats why I am an eco warrior, its human greed that is destroying the planet.
I did have another friend as small child I'm told. I boy who only I could see.
I was a lonely kid.

My sister is like mother. Cold. Born a narcissist/sociopath she is hightly resislant, no empathy at all.

Everyone is born with a personality and that will determine how they cope with their environment.
Are some born nicer than others? Yes.
Are some people born evil or capable of evil, yes.
To me evil is:
Lack of empathy, without empathy without the ability to feel what others are feeling you have a narcissist/psychopath.
