Empathy III

This is the third in my series on empathy.

Sympathy is an intellectual concept. It\u2019s based on a contrast of values. It leads to an opinion first and a feeling second. Sympathy may or may not trigger a feeling. A person who has no feelings at all can still sympathize with others...

What passes for intellectual empathy is not empathy at all, it\u2019s simply a verbal means of communicating feeling, but if there is no feeling, then it\u2019s just verbiage.

\u201cIf you made a sadist more empathic, it would just lead to a happier sadist.\u201d \u2014 Paul Bloom
