There’s a widely held belief that empathy is a virtue and I’m not sure that’s accurate.

Compassion is a virtue, but empathy seems to be pathologically corrosive.

Haven’t totally made up my mind on this, but I’m leaning towards the idea that empathy in general is actually destructive.

I think Empathy is a thought experiment.

Can I follow the line of reasoning that gets me to a place where I can understand the situation?

Sympathy seems more or less given to another on faith. “I can’t understand this, but I grant you some sympathy”
