I don't think they lack feeling (i.e. heartless) I think it's got more to do with being constantly bombarded with the idea that being selfish is the way to get everything you want.

And that only material objects are worth wanting.

Being heartless, to be precise, is not a lack of emotion - rather it is a lack of balance. It is possible to have emotions that are not enlightened by spirit/thought and it is possible to have thought that is not guided lovingly by emotion. If heart is present then the emotions will come to balance in an empowering way and so will thought. If heart is lacking then thought and emotion will be dysfunctional and cause imbalance in an almost unlimited number of ways.

I guess we must be using different dictionaries.

Many times the commonly held definitions for words are not entirely accurate due to a lack of understanding. I have worked specifically in emotional healing and heart balancing for a decade and so have a broader understanding of the mechanics involved than is common.

None the less though, the definition you have provided here does point to what I am saying. The lack of feeling is that which I pointed to by describing thoughts that exist without the guidance of emotions. The lack of consideration can also be said to be reflected by the emotion that lacks the enlightenment of thought.

Heartlessness, precisely, refers to the lack of involvement of the heart in the process of thinking, emoting and acting.
