[Quote No.20115] Need Area: Friends > General
"The world is governed only by self-interest. [Therefore the importance of developing understanding and empathy with others so their feelings and interests become ours. Then helping them feel better helps us feel better. Empathy thereby becomes an ethical method where everyone wins. The moral challenge then becomes developing empathy with others - literally imagining their experiences and feelings vividly. Many religions achieve this win-win behaviour by requesting that people love others as they love themselves. Ethics has achieved the same win-win behaviour by the Principle of Reciprocity- which is expressed as treating others as we would like to be treated or imagining if everyone behaved this way would this create a place we would like to live in? This is why the first thing people do before abusing or hurting others is to stop their empathy with them - or they would literally be abusing and hurting themselves.]" - Johann Friedrich Schiller

[Quote No.20119] Need Area: Friends > General
"Empathy is an imaginative skill that allows us to put ourselves in the place of others so that we can treat them as we - and hopefully they - would like to be treated , in that situation.
It also has another benefit because it allows us to better understand the behaviour of others to us. If we discover that they lack caring empathy, we have a decision to make, on a case by case basis, as to whether there is the hope of a positive, fulfilling relationship, or if the other person does not care for us, or in the worst case scenario, is in fact using us. The latter worst case happens with socially immature individuals. While they can learn the error of their ways and develop the necessary social understandings and skills in time - as we all learn different things at different times - some never do. These people should be avoided as they are a danger to you and your loved ones' psychological, social, physical and financial health. In extreme cases they eventually behave in ways, that society finds so intolerable, [including committing heinous crimes], that they lose their right to liberty and are incarcerated in prisons or mental hospitals as a danger to society and in the hope that they will reform while their example acts as a deterrent to others similarly inclined." - unknown
