RE: Feelings Disuse: Empathy

in #life5 years ago

Some really good points you make here Juan.
I think people get their priorities wrong when being empathetic. What one person sees as a need or a tragedy can be way different from another depending on their own experiences.
This week it has been demonstrated very clearly.
Whilst millions around the world continue to be made homless and millions more starve to death, and others die from bombs and bullets,an old church burns down in Paris and people from a around the globe send millions to rebuild it.
Wouldn't it be better for the Church to redirect so much money to a better cause and leave the building as a monument, marking the day the world joined together for peace and the welfare of our fellow man.
I am not bashing the Church or religion here just the fact that money could be better spent in saving lives not old buildings.
When we get our priorities right, empathy will be the biggest tool in the fight for a new world.
Our world can change if we help our neighbours. Its up to us to show that we care. 😀

You are absolutely right friend @andyjem.
This is a clear and total lack of empathy.

Would not it be better for the Church to redirect so much money to a better cause ...

They will never do it.

We have the opportunity to improve the world in our hands. What prevents us?

Many factors.
Greed, selfishness. Lack of resorses are a few.
Our biggest problem is comunication.
All Governments actively, not only keep their own people apart but set them against other countries by instilling Patriotism fri2m a young age through schooling.
So it is down to small groups of people who believe in each other and the ability to change the system.
Then thoes groups will join other groups.
It will be a slow process and every step of the way the system will fight back with all it has, using the press and police to discredited the new idea.
The idea that we can all live peacfully together.

One of the characteristics of the most disastrous regimes that humanity has experienced is based on the idea of an enemy (internal or external). The dictator uses this concept to bring together a sector of the population. Regardless of whether this involves confrontation between brothers.
