[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1040, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/04/12/712682406/does-empathy-have-a-dark-side'][B]Does Empathy Have A Dark Side? - NPR[/B][/URL] Empathy seems like a good quality in human beings. Pure and simple. It allows us to consider the perspective of others — to put ourselves in their shoes and imagine their experiences. From that empathetic vantage point, only good things can come, right? Not necessarily, according to author [URL='https://www.experimentalhumanities.com/people']Fritz Breithaupt[/URL]. "Sometimes we commit atrocities not out of a failure of empathy but rather as a direct consequence of successful, even overly successful, empathy," he writes in his forthcoming book [I]The Dark Sides of Empathy[/I].
