You may have missed the point, so I'll state it explicitly: almost all people lack empathy, it's just more than some have the self-control not to stab homeless people to death.

Sympathy, gratuity, and freeloading are somewhere off in the distance.

I hope you're not trying to slip in some duplicitous language to accuse me of being freeloader. What does it have to do with anything?



> almost all people lack empathy

There isn't any empirical assessment that agrees with that. A lack of empathy is narcissism, which only applies to a small percentage of any population according to most of the research on this subject.
