Thank you for this thread. I just left Rhapsody's thread and was really upset. I know she's just venting but it felt hurtful. I certainly would never talk about any group of people like that.

Maybe it's because I'm a story teller, maybe it's because of therapy, but my wife would say I probably share a little too much. I spend a lot of time analyzing my emotions and have become quite good at articulating them. I've also learned how to say, I don't understand what I'm feeling. Because sometimes, I don't. Remember, I'm crazy.

If we want a better world with more decent men, we must as a culture focus on teaching the skills needed for emotional intelligence. I would imagine that in some instances, selfish people simply lack the capacity for empathy.

So thanks again for giving props to those of us who try.
