I mean, it doesn't take much to wipe off a smear of ketchup

I respect the hell out of you for truly serving the people. Thank you so much.

I think apathy is somewhat embedded by way of our excessive individualism. Our roots are in the "less than-ing" of others and artificial hierarchies. Empathy requires meaningful experiences with people who are outside our demographic. Until we see other people as people, we can't extend empathy.
