Not all empathy is good. Don’t waste it on people who wouldn’t slow down if they ran you over.

I would argue that having empathy for another human is what sets me apart from them. but i understand your disdain for them.

I really appreciate your comment. I feel the same way. I feel I can accept both that they were victims of their own hubris, and were other people suffering. Those notions do exist together no matter how I feel about the ultra rich.
