One of the great failings of people is the lack of empathy. Imagining what others feel is such an unknown.
The casual disregard for others is all around us. Eventually we get so bogged down in overwhelming crush of crap that we to just go with it. Hurt others just because we can.
What if we could feel what others could? Or just an echo of that feeling. What if it did hurt us to hurt someone else? War would be out of the question. An argument would be something to avoid too.
The mirror of that - what if we could feel the pleasure we give to others? How would it feel to share in the joy of helping a neighbor find a lost cat? How would that basic relief feel?
