-
Now, empathetic feeling, like any other human capacity, differs across people.
-
Some of us have a lot of it. Some of us don't have much of it.
-
There is some reason to believe that in the population known as "Psychopaths",
-
a population we'll return to later on when we discuss mental illness,
-
this sort of instinctive empathy is broken and the pain of others
-
just doesn't bother them very much. I have some illustrative quotes here.
-
In Damon's book, a wonderful book on psychopathy, he
-
talks about a thirteen-year-old mugger who specialized in mugging blind people.
-
And when asked about the pain he caused his victims
-
he responded, "What do I care? I'm not her," which is logically correct but,
-
in a sense, inhuman, the fact that it's another person should make you care.
-
The serial killer Gary Gilmore basically said the pain of others gratified him
