Case in point: this image is basically pure text, but in a form unperceivable to people who need actual text.
No empathy there.
Empathy truly is radical: far easier to proclaim than to universally practice.
Those who react with hostility when lapses in empathy are pointed out likely have a special deficiency in empathy: they need to self-reflect & take inventory of themselves.
Hostility biased to construe a forthright criticism maliciously for not being ingratiating to your standards demonstrates an insecurity more concerned with saving face rather than consideration for points others make, so it’s not particularly empathetic or enlightened, and it’s somewhat entitled.
A just person cares more about doing what is right than in satisfying their ego even when it seems to cost them and goes unappreciated.
Their acts are an unusual wonder & in the scheme of humanity radical.
Another superficial style over substance fallacy: you argue over style rather than address substance.
As remarked earlier, such cheap, emotionally-stunted tactics for a superficial, self-centered mind aren’t a great argument for empathy.
Same advice as before: self-reflect, take personal inventory.
no consideration, certainly. no word on empathy content.
‘empathy’ does not mean kindness or virtue or caring. it is a specific narrow thing that, as demonstrated, has limited utility without other virtues. think of it like cinnamon. goes in a lot of things, more than you’d think but not all, and kind of garbage on its own.
