Loki presents here an example of what I feel is a huge part of what is wrong with the world right now:
Lack of Empathy
Edith Stein wrote that in "On the Problem of Empathy"that it is through empathy that we develop our true self - i.e. that in interactions with others we determine who we are.
In a world where kids are pummeled at an earlier and earlier age with voilence and depressing data, I believe they are growing up with little to no ability to feel empathy.
Empathy is, at its core, the ability to internalize another's feelings. It means that when a soldier dies, one can feel in themselves a semblance of what that family is going through.
We are raising an entire generation of kids (and now adults) who almost completely lack empathy. And its showing.
