Judy, let me clarify this. I'm not against empathy, just those that wear it on
their sleeves for the whole world to see and *admire*, especially for political
purposes.I would call that *false empathy* and when I see it or hear it, it
makes me want to vomit.
Kind of reminds me of Christ reading the riot act to the Pharisees in the
Temple, calling them vipers and brooder vipers, whited sepulchers, all clean
and white outside, but full of dead men's bones and corruption inside, standing
in the doorway to heaven , neither going in nor allowing others to enter.

And we can't have that and be empathetic as well??
