Honest Answers.

By definition empathy is for 'other'.

You're making little sense.

Follow the conversation please and it will make sense.

You have empathy for others because it makes life easier on you in the long run. Do you deny that empathy for others makes them treat you better?

Yes, I do. You may have empathy for others you've never met and vice versa. Its more a world-view than a reward system.

Why have that world view at all? That's the whole point here.

You can never truly understand someone or another culture until you lived it. People get high on information because it makes them feel more enlightened and sophisticated than everyone else.

Californication is a song about your kind....getting high on information.

Agreed but I'm not one of those. I don't want to see you in hell. I don't even think there is one after the style of Dante.
