When you're angry at a group of people it helps to think of whether this issue happens in other places and if not then consider that it might be a systemic problem and that you should be angrier at the systems that led to this problem.
- LarryMullins 4y agoMy bike got stolen recently. I was pretty bummed out about it. But I think whoever stole it was probably more happy to get it than I am sad to lose it. The total happiness in the world increased. So, whatever.
- amenghra 4y agoThe person who stole your bike probably sold it for $10. It’ll cost you way more to purchase the same or similar bike. The happy person in the story is the person buying stolen bikes (or parts thereof).

There is something seriously wrong with you when you've lost the ability to empathize with the victims of crime but retained the ability to empathize with the perpetrators.
