Too Much Empathy Makes You Weak - Weakness is Not Noble
By Lance Winslow


Modern Day Psychologists tell us that empathy is a human innate characteristic and if you lack it, then there is something definitely wrong with you. But, where is there documentation to prove this, as the human species has evolved and is still evolving? Empathy is innate, but how much an individual needs to have to function properly is perhaps highly over rated.

Sorry, but the examples given to support that too much empathy "makes people weak" or mean that "people is weak" are really ridiculous...

Manuel,

That's okay Manuel, I realize that a good many people in society have been educated to think as you do. I am merely pointing out we have gone to far and our society is completely weak. Empathy is fine, a human trait, but taken too far it makes people weak, and at some point we need to tell our children to stop crying, get up, and try harder. Other wise in the end we all lose. I forgive you Manuel for your misunderstanding of my article, and I fully expect there are a good many folks that believe just as you have stated, I completely disagree with you on this point. But, Should I demand your empathy?
