Replying to Avatar HODL

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.

It is important to understand other people's emotions and be able to empathize, but not to fall into excessive sentimentality. Excessive sentimentality is destructive and ineffective. 🫂
