…Um, WHAT?

High empathy doesn’t automatically make people bad parents. People with high empathy still have common sense (hence, why I’ve never tried reasoning with a toddler). & If anything, the exact opposite – low empathy – is what leads to poorly behaved feral children (and adults). For example, Reactive Attachment Disorder. Psychopaths locked up in prison. Career Politicians. Long story short, lack of empathy is not a good thing.

Empathy and Altruism (stuff Jesus seemed to like to talk about) are pretty much the only things separating human behavior from feral animals.
