I remember hearing a nascent version of this message as a child, when I was told that to allow my heart to hurt for the suffering of AIDS patients was tacit support of their “sin” and therefore a sin in itself.
If you’ve seen a Christian bemoaning the “sin of empathy” or Elon Musk talking about “suicidal empathy” and wondered what that was about, I have an essay for you
tldr version is that they are wrong but I think that the details etc are pretty interesting and scary and speak to our fascist moment

Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy
Trump’s actions are irreconcilable with Christian compassion. But an unholy alliance seeks to cast empathy as a parasitic plague

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me.
Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz.
His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.
