Chao, the billionaire former CEO of dry bulk shipping giant Foremost Group, tragically died at the age of 50 on Feb. 10 after accidentally backing her car into the pond making a three-point turn.
Interesting. Having the ability to control empathy and how it’s handed out is a very strong defense mechanism. Surprised you haven’t done it yourself in order to protect yourself from narcissistic people you have met through life. Or maybe you are over analyzing my comment as it’s not like I’m able to turn empathy on and off at will. But factors will affect it. As with all things. Blatantly being empathetic to everything is a recipe for suffering.
Have you ever looked at the Darwin awards and laughed? Damn you are just as bad as me!
Of course I have. I bet a lot of those people would laugh at their own deaths too, if they could see them afterward.
But that has nothing to do with empathy.
Being able to turn your empathy off at will, seeing empathy as a thing you can control, that tells me about your character.
You might not like that this reveals information about you, but it does.
