But just because he is on a ventilator do I have to have sympathy for him? I think, no. He is in that position because he acted irresponsibly. He should suffer for that. Serious suffering to avoid it ever happening again. There are many people on ventilators right now though no fault of their own. My prayers should be reserved for them.

I don't think you must feel something if you don't feel it. I also do not think you must understand what others might feel. If you don't feel something or don't understand something, it usually cannot be forced. You either feel empathy or you don't.
I just wondered that since you posted about it and continue this conversation, you probably noticed this lack of empathy in yourself as well as maybe tendency in suspecting ulterior motive in people (mother did it for money and attention not out of love etc)
Is this ongoing issues for you? Thinking this way about people and lacking empathy?. Does it concern you? Have you ever mentioned it to your therapist?
Does it effect your life negatively? Or Does this attitude bring you happiness?
