God this is true, there's a staggering amount of people that lack it. So much selfishness as well
Selfishness can be trained away, lack of empathy not very much it seems.
Happily we store all these non-empats in position of power.
Well yes that was what I was meaning, if you don't have empathy as an adult it seems it's impossible to acquire.
I lost most of mine during Covid. The amount of selfishness by people during that time has made me want to never be empathetic towards them... and there were A LOT of selfish people.
It's akin to a skill, after all. Like humor. Having either one does not make someone good or bad. They're just gimmicks in the end.
