Too much empathy from one group of people causes other people to drop all empathy.
How can you find a common middle ground with people who are overflowing with empathy?
- vacri 9y agoCan you please provide some real-world examples of what you mean, because I can't figure the kind of things you're talking about when you talk about excessive empathy being a problem for others.
- sheepmullet 9y agoPeople with too much empathy can be easily swayed by a couple of emotionally charged stories without carefully considering the long term consequences or the data. Going off topic but gun control is a great example. There is a small group of Americans who want to take away the right to private ownership of firearms. It's a small group and not a real concern. The problem is there is a decent chunk of Americans who are very empathy driven and you show them the picture of a little girl who was shot dead and reason goes out the window. So what does the other side do? Push their own emotionally charged propaganda to combat it. And refuse to compromise even when they agree.
