Several time blameless people are declared as blameworthy in this world without any reason. Thus.. what makes you to stay away from wrong things like cheating, frauding, thieving etc.. ? Is it God, if no, than why not ? if it is something else, than what is it ?
It is a simple thing to separate wrong acts and other people's feelings. A waitress does not claim all her tip money so that she might pay less tax. Is it stealing? Is it fraud? Whose feelings does it hurt?I'm not a sociopath so I care about other people's feelings
Most people having Emotional Affairs don’t know (or don’t admit) that they are being unfaithful.
Empathy, reputation, honor, integrity, risk, and consequences.
Ask Single Dating Diva: Can You Define Cheating? | Single Dating Diva
There is so much going on that can be described as low level cheating, stealing, defrauding ect that I find it very funny that someone might think only "sociopaths" do it.
Wow what an overreaction! :beach: Chill dude, I never said that.
OK I am chilling. You implied sociopaths do not care about other people's feelings. True. Why else would someone be good except that they care about what people think of them? And of course including their own self consciousness.
Empathy. Being able to feel what someone else feels. It's not so much about what someone thinks of you, heck that never came to my mind.

Empathy comes from caring. Caring for what?
Empathy is simply being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes and feel what they must be feeling. You don't have to care. However, most people do care, because we are social animals.
I have always associated empathy with kindness. You make it sound like a skill that a person might have or not have.
That's the difference between empathy and sympathy. Empathy means you understand and feel, sympathy means you care.
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 simply not in my nature to do those things. I'm usually having too much fun to be so inconsiderate of other human animals.Is it God, if no, than why not ? if it is something else, than what is it ?
