Greetings good citizen, talk about 'Pandora's Box', raising the topic of empathy to a herd of self-centered egomaniacs is suicidal at best.
STOP
I am not asking you to feel sorry/guilty for anyone or any of the many torches burning fruitlessly on your doorstep. If we sympathized with every little thing our teeny heads would explode.
There is an OCEAN of wrong out there and almost nothing the individual can do about it...or so the media would have you believe.
All of those flickering flames of hope exist because some feel the need to bring the matter to YOUR attention, hoping you will forgo your morning latte in exchange for a few dollars [most of which will go to 'administration'] but you'll 'feel better' about yourself for having contributed to the 'greater good' of the freakishly selfish.
Intellectually you know that MONEY will NEVER cure cancer or any of the myriad of debilitating diseases they regularly hold marathons and telethons for.
So in that respect 'empathy' is useful to the criminals who seek not to cure but to leverage your 'guilt' and provide you with an 'outlet' for your powerlessness.
Truly bizarre is how many of you 'give' mentally imagining how your 'good deed' is smoothing the way towards your ultimate goal of entering a 'kingdom' your mind cannot conceive of. ['Eternal Bliss' would break you!]
But we have already established that the mind is a fiercely incomprehensible place, haven't we?
Thanks mostly to our 'playful' fellow opportunists that revel in filling each other's heads with bullshit, the more outrageous, the better!
Yup, repeat until true. Funny how that 'works'.
We have arrived at a place where you must be asking yourself, how do we get our heads straight if we are so gullible?
There's the rub, isn't it?
We need to rewind to 'what's real'...which is more difficult than it sounds but that is the 'benchmark'.
Cue Mission Impossible theme, until next time Head.

So we return to a question that refuses to go away: How dumb are you? (do you know the answer?)
