I encounter stuff like that, almost every day. It's really important for me to feel empathy for others. It is not the same as weakness. I was always told that it's really important to understand our enemies, and that often includes admitting that they are human, and have human motives. That's not the same as being weak. I've also been told "If you want to understand rats, talk to an exterminator."
