I do not agree that empathy is a disesase. People pleasing is a disease. I believe that empathy is truly a super power. I also believe that like any other super power there are those who use their gifts for evil. When you can feel someone's weakness, then say and do things that get them to perform the way you want because you know they will because they are weak, tired or broken that is evil. That is what I mean.
What do you think? I don't agree with the title but this is a great conversation.
