Disagree. Empathy is an attribute of God demonstrated daily by his Son on earth. Empathy fosters connection and others-focus. It encourages actions to assist others in need.
@bradleybrisco The problem is that people think empathy is a virtue when it is not. It is a human capacity to understand and appreciate others’ feelings that can be used for good or bad. It it may lead to or stimulate virtuous actions, but it may lead to error. By itself, it is not virtuous.
