Limited empathy is preyed upon by fascists who want empathy to stop at ethnic or national boarders so to be weaponised against an “other”. Empathy is not only why we care, it can be abused to become why we don’t care for those outside our limited “own”. www.patreon.com/posts/124912...

Those who think empathy is the enemy of the spiritual journey know nothing of the mystics, the saints, and the heart of GOD revealed in Jesus of Nazareth.

This is your daily reminder that not only is empathy *not* a sin,
that according to Jesus,
MERCY -
(that is, compassionate empathy in action on behalf of others)
is God’s holiness and nature.
So, be compassionate, as the GOD revealed in Jesus is compassionate. (Luke 6:36)
