I am really disturbed whenever I read about one human being saying he is completely incapable of empathizing with another human being's choice.
Oh, I don't know about that. I am completely incapable of empathizing with the human being who chooses to beat his daughter to death for dating a boy from another religion. Or the human being who chooses to torture an animal for fun. Or the human being who... well actually I can't think of a third example which is significantly different from the first two.
But as far as purchases of consumer electronics goes... sure, do whatever you like! I really don't give a damn one way or the other.
- raganwald 18y agoWhile your examples are extreme, we are only talking about degrees of difference. For example, I empathize with people who send their country's youth off to a foreign land to fight and kill for oil even if I don't agree with their choice. Empathizing is not the same thing as agreeing with or countenancing.
