You can't have empathy without feeling SOMETHING in some form.

1. the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.

If you don't feel guilty about NOT doing something, then it's NOT empathy, and it's NOT altruism. It's, once again, done in self-interest.

Besides, if you don't feel, how in the HELL is that enlightenment? That sounds a lot more like sociopathy.




whoa.
