Why I feel so much empathy? I try to understand and have compassion for everyone in the world, good and bad people. Sometimes I feel like I am wrong for feeling like that. I "cant" hate someone who did something wrong, like a crime or something horrible and I understand people who want revenge and feel hate and dont believe in redemption. I try to see both sides, as I cant really understand us humano beings so much. We are so much complex and dificult to understand. I think maybe this is because my real event ocd, but I dont know. I dont believe people are totally bad or that people are totally good. Our human nature is twisted and crazy. Sometimes I feel more compassion for others than for me. I Just hate feeling like a horrible person for feeling like this. I think so many things about that, like punishment and justice. I feel like crazy. I dont want to feel like that, I Just want to be a good person.

Thanks, I also value feeling empathy for people. Today was a Crazy day where I live, the police killed most wanted sorte of killer and people are cheering his death, even thanking God. He made victims (and some he denied before dying). Like I dont agree with his actions, I believe in Second chances and redemption. I Just dont think cheering his death is good, because he also has a family and two kids, wich one day Will know about It, but I also understand the people doing this. Its like somewhat the old law of the world is coming back: eye for eye, teeth for teeth.

@Heello Wow. That sounds eventful. Yeah I’m not the biggest fan of like the death penalty and stuff like that. Just seems unethical to me.

Yes. I am Black and relate to that. I’m older and smarter and realize it’s a learned ideology that can be I learned by people who are dedicated to do so and I’m not in a place to hate someone who chose to unlearn something hateful they were taught. That’s actually very good. Unlearning is hard. I think we feel hate for ourselves not just because of the OCD, but because we live in a society that tells us to. “If you think this is okay or empathize with this you’re a bad person” we internalize all that stuff because it’s all we see especially on socially media. We’re taught that being empathetic is bad and our OCD focuses on that. I’m actually passionate about rehabilitation and re-education work and it’s something I would like to do in the future.

@stop. I like the idea of rehabilitation and re-education too. I wish I could add something to this world, and help and Prevent things like that and helping in kind of redemption.

@Heello Its like I try to see the whole scenario. Like all sides on Spotlight and even those who play It far from the "camera".

@stop. very well said! i hope you’re successful in your goals to re-educate people; that’s super admirable. reminds me a bit of daryl davis, a black man who inspired 200 kkk members to give up their ideals. mans deserves a nobel peace prize

@🌵 I LOVE DARYL DAVIS. He’s one of my biggest inspirations. I also really like Cassie Jaye. She’s super honest and truthful but unfortunately because of the hate she gets for being honest and exposing toxicity they distort her story and paint her as a bad guy. But I love them both. Very good people!

@stop. ill have to check her out! i love controversial people. also cant wait to hear about you in the future making big moves like daryl

@🌵 Thank you! I also love controversial people especially when they’re actually really good people but society wants to paint them as bad people. I like seeing what they’re really about.
