  I certainly think they will get nothing if people don’t have empathy for them.

    You’d be surprised by how far just caring can go. And by that, I mean genuinely, empathically, caring.

    Depends a lot on who is doing the caring. For instance, if a homeless person has infinite empathy towards another one, not a lot will happen. If a particurarily unskilled politician has a lot of empathy, what they do with it might be a net negative.

      You would still need to the wherewithal to identify that help is needed. Be it empathy from within our external, if no one cared it would never reach even the lukiest of warm persons desk.
