37. Empathy is not a virtue you can turn on or off!
It’s an instinct that affects the way you interact with your fellow human beings, and having empathy for a victim of a crime doesn’t mean that you will not do everything in your power to stop and prosecute the criminal. So these criminals infiltrate political and legal system for the purpose of decriminalizing their activities to the point where these systems no longer protect the general welfare of the majority; and when the legal system lacks empathy it has a tendency to blame and or criminalize the victims while embellishing the criminal, especially if the criminal is very wealthy.
