I don't know if you'll read this as it's been a while, but you're just repeating what I said. Your morals are axiomatic, and as ground truth they can't be supported by anything other than their supposed self-apparentness. Your second half simply restates my "sensitivity and callousness to specific situations of harm are very trained", as that's all we're talking about here: How various harm "feels" when you see them carried out. This empathizing you base things on is hugely selective even within you. You aren't empathizing with the plight of plants or insects, for instance. If you empathized with everything equally, then you'd be crippled by any amount of perceived harm, which is pervasive. Everybody is empathetic & compassionate, but to different situations. This has a ton to do with culture and normality. People constantly misconstrue their sensitivities with morals.
