Empathy

    Empathy comes from perspective.  Being able to put ourselves in someone else's shoes gives us insight and understanding about them.

   When a mind dissociates it no longer functions as a whole.  The conscious part of the mind can become aware of the unconscious part of the mind.  All kinds of bizarre psychosis arise from that.

   And the most unnerving thing is a general loss of perspective.   Another way of saying that is we lose the ability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes.  Empathy is the very next thing that's lost after perspective.

   You might be wondering how dissociating a whole mind into separate conscious and unconscious parts would cause loss of perspective.  It seems like 2 would be better than 1 in this case.

   That's a normal thing to be wondering.

   But what you're wondering is backwards.

   You're probably not surprised by that anymore.  But something that I've been noticing has surprised me and it's from people I've known for years.

   Little by little it seems like they've been losing empathy.

   It's most noticeable when asking a question.  That's the reason I wrote an email to the CEO of the company I work for.

   The text from that email is the Letter to CEO.

The people I know with answers won't give them when asked.  So I have a few Questions.
