Jens Finkhäuser 🌻So to deny people sufficient empathy to perform the most fundamental function of a social animal is on the one hand to deny them their humanity.
It's also denying that the fabric of society can function by extension - in the small, where empathy is directly employed, and in the more abstract where it is needed to effect required changes.
It may stem from very understandable struggles. But it sabotages the possible paths to ending these struggles.
From here, to the more personal one, I guess.
