humanoids already lost empathy and now have even lost sympathy

aka : wtf happened to the golden rule?

ok, i admit…..i’m trapped on your spinning blue ball

and i love this planet despite what you humanoids have done to it

recently, i’ve sadly realized that your species have brought things to a new low

sure, you lost empathy a while back but now this world is one where you can’t even feel sorry for one another…..wow

first a quick “what’s the difference” ?

empathy activates multiple areas in your brain associated with pain

sympathy, is the opposite as it lights up areas in your brain associated with love or reward

in more detail?

empathy is the link, the connection that allows humanoids to jump over into the world of another persons feelings.

it is when you understand other people’s feelings as if you were having them yourself.

it creates a very strong connection between two peeps

it’s why you like great movies, books or stories around a campfire

it’s the difference between your brain feeling your own stuff and knowing/feeling what somebody else is directly experiencing

it’s a huge step for one to have empathy because it activates several areas in the humanoid brain associated with pain. (ex: sensorimotor cortex and insula)

think of it like second hand smoke…..

only it’s second hand pain that you’re willing to “absorb”

past research has shown that adrenaline and cortisol …two major stress hormones can be released when you feel empathy for someone.

congrats for the few empathic earthlings left …it takes some courage to willingly step into this hormonal stress and discomfort.

the new abnormal empathic bottom line is simple…unless you’re an actor who gets paid for putting yourself in the shoes of another, most people in this country don’t give a shit about empathy anymore.

now sympathy?….that’s a whole different game and i’ll try and keep this brief

unlike empathy it’s feeling compassion, sorrow, or pity for the misfortune that another person encounters.

sympathy and compassion are linked to neurotransmitters like dopamine, oxytocin, seratonin, which are reward circuits that get fired. (think chocolate or romantic love) :: ))

with empathy you’re “absorbing” their pain and with sympathy you’re just “observing” it

kind of like the difference between acting in the school play and being in the audience watching it.

the former is much more active and dangerous and vulnerable than the latter

ok…let’s just call it like it is

fuck empathy…..leave that to the professionals……doctors, nurses, psychotherapists, emts, clergy, actors, lawyers, etc…..

but sympathy and/or compassion is something the average humanoid can’t afford to lose

especially in this new world where “they” have convinced many of you to disbelieve the standards you previously believed in.

it’s gotten so bad that even evangelical jesus freaks give-a-shit about others seems to be broken?

with no sense of sympathy you treat things that are alive as objects and you withhold a basic sense of goodness and decency of this amazing planet you live on

you become fucking dead and completely disconnected from it

that’s when you shit where you sleep, pollute rivers you drink from and soil the soil you try and grow your food in

let alone seriously jacking people around that really don’t deserve it

years ago i was lucky enough to meet qigong master dr. yan xin and he simply called it the “union of human and nature”

this is where you have “sincere kindness for everyone and everything”

bottom line

sympathy and compassion doesn’t make you weak, it makes you stronger

i’d challenge all humans to step up

because ultimately and selfishly it’s in your best interest
