There is a structure that we are naturally part of, empathy is part of that structural and is beneficial to others and returns the same measure back.
That structural connection is not by chance, it's the nature of things and the Universe is the same structure.
Here is my research into that everything, it's a long read, but with virtually no fluff. The repeated subjects are familiar, but from a different subject, cause or analogy.
I hope you get chance to read this in full. Hopefully, it inspires you on so that time is worth it and the effort dissappears.
Any questions, just ask, I don't get any money from any of this and nor do I want any.
