What amazes me much more so than any aspect of this entirely absurd subject is the manner in which this forum gives birth to this same discussion every 2-3 months.
I may not be pushing the envelope with my every post but I honestly can not understand how anyone can get seriously involved in one of these threads and feel as if they've contributed anything truly significant. Especially when all of the finer points of this thread go without saying.
And while one glance at my avatar might lead you to some conclusion as to how I may feel about the subject at hand, all that I can honestly say I feel after reading 3 more pages of this is: exactly how is any of this the evolution of anything?
em·pa·thy [em-puh-thee]
1. the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
2. the imaginative ascribing to an object, as a natural object or work of art, feelings or attitudes present in oneself: By means of empathy, a great painting becomes a mirror of the self.
