OE— Isn’t it ironic that the focus of the horse event was cognitive empathy, but they all turned a blind eye to the struggling bird? It’s like it was a test! 
I’ve found you can’t make people care and have empathy if they don’t. If you have something they want, they may fake it.  |
Thank you TishaBuv
Ah yes. Verbal abuse to encourage the daughter to be a stronger person. Very familiar to me. And yet the “bully” was me.
And the analogy of throwing the young bird out of the nest was also used.

If we have something they want, some of them may fake it.
