[QUOTE="QualityCuntrol, post: 323650, member: 31775"] I definitely don't want to set off a minefield here [B]and I understand it's in the game and not going away[/B], but I've always disliked the concept of empathy as a universal purity thing, and a lack of it as evidence of corruption. IRL I know many, many people who lack empathy because it just...requires being able to feel other people's emotions. Hell, I'm autistic, I have trouble with it at times: I'm just not as attuned to other people, and that's okay. It doesn't mean that I don't try to be a good person and extend compassion. The people I know who lack empathy completely are some of the kindest people I know, because they want to be: it's just that they don't depend on empathy to do it. They don't understand other people's emotional states on that level, but they often still feel sympathy, and they do their best to be compassionate. I've found [I]some [/I]extremely empathic people actively use their empathy to do serious harm to others. It's an automatic emotional response, not an indicator of goodness. Again, [B]I understand it's in the game, and it's not going away, and I'm not asking people to start changing the way they discuss it NOR am I trying to insinuate that you're all bad people or are targeting me specifically or something ridiculous like that[/B]. It's just that empathy always seems to come up when we discuss corruption, and so I've had these thoughts on my mind for a while. I've got more thoughts on empathy in general, but meh. Just wanted to give my two cents; please feel free to ignore. :ghost: [/QUOTE]
