Empathy is feeling the pain of your neighbor. Jesus had empathy for us in His ministry and even on the cross. Do you have empathy? Is empathy important to you? Is it important for us to develop empathy in ourselves and our children?
A hallmark of Narcissism is a lack of empathy........recently, Narcissism was removed from the DSM (the diagnostic manual, used to diagnosis mental illness and personality disorders) because it has become so prevalent in Western culture that it is not longer considered abnormal. So, it is now considered to be normal......
In my opinion, narcissists lead a diminished existence.....one that reduces emotions to fear and lust. It is antichrist. Without empathy, it is impossible to love. As Christians, we are called to love. So, since we have reached a crisis state of Narcissism.....are we losing our salt? Is Christianity failing?
Discussing love and scripture with someone who lacks empathy is a colossal waste of time......all you can do is pray for the individual......so let me know - i do not want to waste your time or mine
