Make empathy normal
It's interesting to me when people talk about someone having a lot of empathy because they help people in need or fight for victim's rights.
Why is that considered extra empathy?
If a living creature sees another struggle, they SHOULD feel the drive to help. That's not having a lot of empathy; that's just called operating at expected levels.
What's NOT normal is watching people around you in need and choosing to only focus on what you want. That's not normal. It might be considered normal in a capitalist society where greed and indifference is rewarded. But in the universe, where energies create and control, that mindset contradicts the human design. The indifference displayed in the behaviors of those considered normal in today's society borders on psychopathic.
Having a lot of empathy means you feel for others in circumstances where compassion isn't typically an automatic response.
If you can look at the person who tried to destroy you, feel the pain and anger that drove them to those choices, and use that hurt you now feel to address that situation from a place of love, THEN you have a lot of empathy.
But looking at a hungry, homeless being and offering help isn't showing a lot of compassion. It's pretty basic and should be a programmed response.
It's crazy watching a world of typical people be treated as heroes not because they went above and beyond; but because those instinctual behaviors have been lost in most to their own egos.
