No one had empathy for me
What is empathy?
I will make a knew definition
Empathy requires being there
Example...if you see a dog's corpse in the field with no context
You have no empathy.
It is just a dog that died in the field at some time
And it is has interrupted your nice walk
By smelling really bad & making you decide whether to call animal control to pick it up
An annoyance
No empathy
If you had been there when that dog died
Lets say it had cancer
And it was instinctually going away from the pack because it knew it was dying
And YOU knew it had cancer
STILL no empathy because you knew it was dying
But you think it is cool that it did that....selfless
You would bury it
And be sad but not too much so
Then what about if it was tortured & killed
The empathy would be there I guess
So then what is empathy?
You can only have Empathy if you were there
