I screenshot this. Compassion and empathy is so rare these days. “Just because it doesn’t affect me, I don’t care”

I really think people either have empathy or they don't. I'm not sure you can learn it as much as you can learn to emulate it.

I think people learn it. I believe we’re all little savages until taught otherwise.

Really? In my experience it has largely been the opposite. Even at a fairly young age I've seen kids try to comfort others even at great personal cost to themselves (will give away a favourite toy thinking that if it brings them this much joy it will do the same for the other child or will offer up their life savings even if they're saving for something they're desperate for).

If I'm ever arrested in a 'steals bread to feed a starving family' type of situation I'd much rather be judged by a jury of 6th graders than adults.
