    Wish there was an empathy spell. These people only understand when things effect them personally. If they could have the sadness they would produce in the word shot back at them, that’d be tits.

      Yeah I think the idea is definitely that the empathy people normally get has to do with victimizing a person to the point that the victim won’t interact anymore and the other person grows to regret what they’ve done.

      I don’t think someone without empathy will suddenly gain it overnight without interacting with victims and there basically have to be victims for that to happen.

      Not condoning just pointing out.

      She’ll have empathy when that rejected son doesn’t come to visit, doesn’t keep in contact, and doesn’t support her when her body starts to decline and she needs extra care.

      The empathy just won’t be coming from anyone else.

    Turning doing nothing into a group project

    On second thought it could be a group art project based on shared dislike? More worthwhile than a lot of modern art I suppose

      And like most group projects, one person will have to do all the nothing because the rest didn’t do anything
