Yes, and I'm sorry for inadvertently implying so. Your post explains why people feel the way they do with certain stimuli. What I wanted to say is that each individual should analize their responses, and accept or change them. If a person is still haunted by a traumatic experiece, maybe they still need therapy to handle it. We can empathize with them but should not change our behaviour. [EDIT] Changed "should empathize" to "can empathize". We can't force a person to empathize with another.
