I thought a person understands and feels for another person because he wants to. I have never imagined the FBI looks for people with empathy for working with the criminal mind. If empathy is just a skill people have, like math or music, it can be used for bad or good.

It's actually a huge pain in the butt. I can't stop myself from feeling how other people are feeling, whether I care or not. It's really uncomfortable sometimes. I burn out, and need a lot of time by myself.

Mostly, the fact that I could get caught and the consequences could royally mess up my life.

But then also because it doesn't feel right, since we've been trained our entire lives not to do it.

Also I usually am not in the house of someone I hate enough to happily steal from. I tend to avoid such people at all costs.​

A complex firing of neurons which is caused by different chemicals. These chemicals are released however, due to the introduction of stimuli. The response to certain stimuli is affected by both evolution and adaption. Thus, my genetics, my socialization, and my own rationalization all play an important role in my "decision" to stay away from "wrong" things.

I don't have time nor the energy to waste to sit around thinking/doing about cheating, frauding, thieving.

My garage got broke into once, the thief wired the key switch for the garage door to open. I told a friend that I could never think to do that that way. My friend's answer was, "you know way?" I said why?" He said because you aint a thief."

There is no overseer to bail us out of the consequences of our mistakes and our polluting of our own vital flow.

Why do you think that if there's any overseer, Than such overseer is responsible to bail us, rather than giving us treatment for that mistake ?
