Case in fact: Present research about empathy shows that there are 2 acceptable THEORIES accepted by the journal of psychology-
1. Simulation Theory- through the same experience you simulate what the other person is feeling. (If you have gone through the same experience)
2. Theory of Mind- based on rules on how one must think & feel (applies to religion or from authority)
Resarch about both. Empathy level of people with low emotional quotient (mga manhid) is low to none, therefore, they will have difficulty in feeling empathetic. These people will have difficulty based on Simulation Theory. They can, however, be taught how to be empathetic thru the Theory of Mind. Like how toddlers are taught how not to fight with other kids.
Also, empathy is an emotion. Emotions depend on immediate situations.
So for dc_sigbin, his basis for right & wrong is emotion, which may change per situation. Unless he follows the teachings (Theory of Mind) of Buddhism, a religion based closely with empathy. So religion gihapon ka bro dc_sigbin otherwise you'll have to download all people's experiences to your head if you want to apply only the Simulation Theory & debunk the Theory of Mind.
Question for dc_sigbin: So since ang empathy has yet to be studied & understood fully by psychologists, in other words, hilaw pa ang understanding sa empathy karon, unsa man imong basis for right & wrong?
