88 - Empathy as a Sin Fallacy

from Between the Covers Podcast · host Marcus Spaur

Let's talk about empathy and how many powerful and vocal people are calling it a sin these days. As an empath, I disagree with this sentiment. The biggest thing for me is that being empathetic is something that has helped me change my views. It helps me connect with other people. It opens my eyes to the plights of others. It's something that makes me love others on a much deeper level. Removing empathy makes it so that these people can ignore the blood on their hands for the harm they cause.
