    I've always had this lingering thought in the back of my mind and more and more it comes to the front. Do you believe humans are born with an empathy towards others or is it taught by parents or even learned later in life?. Some folks never do understand it!

    Personally, I can say that as far back as I can remember, it was there. My husband says that he was brutal to the lizards and creatures that grew wild in the desert where we grew up...but so did most of the boys he grew up with!

    I think empathy can be guided, but not learned. I don't believe that people are 'blank slates' (as it were) when they come into the world as newborns. There's too much evidence to the contrary. Genetic patterns and the predispositions that they bestow upon us are quite powerful.
