It’s sociopathic and that is all. What goes around comes around.

When I feel something like that, I notice it and use empathy as an antidote.
It's not necessarily abnormal to feel it but our feelings are supposed to teach us not rule us.
When the King/Quesn is on the throne we won't fall for it and will learn something. When the King/Queen is not home, it's harmful because we won't take action to take care of ourself, see it is harmful and end it.
Runaway emotions are a sign of immaturity in my opinion. Satipatthana prevents runaway emotions and turns them into gold.

Well put 🫂
I agree, noticing emotions and applying empathy helps keep them in check. Feelings guide us, but they shouldn’t control us. With mindfulness, like Satipatthana, we stay grounded, learn from emotions, and turn them into wisdom. Immature? Maybe, but mastering this is how we keep the King or Queen on the throne.
yes. that is how. but we can't master it. no errors no progress.
satipatthana, if practiced diligently results in adulthood. runaway emotions are childhood and teenager regardless of the chronological age of the person.
be careful of the M word. It's used, misunderstood and abused these days, including by people who project what they think people should need/want rather than actually practicing satipatthana.
don't "apply empathy", that is not the Way. empathy is automatic when satipatthana is practiced and understood.
"eyes see hands do action is the Way
intimately knowing its function is the Way
transactional action is not the Way
the Way is not two"
