		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, when Westerners gave a thought about Japan, it was admiration of their family units, and their reverence for seniors, appreciated for their wisdom. No more! Japan regretfully has gone the way of global society. The only places you see empathy/ community - caring about one&#039;s neighbor are the isolated tribal people.

 Life in these lands  is simple, technology, cold and heartless, hasn&#039;t hardened their hearts. Living in a world of perpetual war; where men use their genius, creativity, and vast sums of money to annihilate one another - is it any wonder that empathy was destroyed by napalm - cluster bombs - mines - etc.

 We are told that we are now &quot;Global Citizens&quot;; meaning that loyalty to ones community - or nation is now lost in a toxic stew of babel. The individual is merely a cog in the machine. He/She are nameless, faceless, and voiceless. These multi national corporations prove my point. These soulless creatures/ money changers claim no land - no loyalty or allegiance. MONEY - millions, billions, trillions is their holy grail.

 That and POWER - the one who dies with the most toys wins! War calls us &#039;Collateral Damage&#039; - industry polluting entire towns calls us (dying of cancer etc) &#039;Acceptable Risks&#039;. We are non-combatants - consumers - victims - statistics - occupants - patients -gladiators - super stars - students - congregations - worker bees - voters - serial killers - gangs - traders - factory/ mill workers - travelers - pilgrims - ministers - dictators - clapping seals (State of the Union politicians) ----The Herd  - Useless eaters - Immigrants - Insurgents - Warlords - Towel Heads - Sand N-----s - Vermin - Unemployed:

 A sea of nameless-faceless - powerless persons blowing each other up for Empire/ or robbing them blind and calling it global finance. Is it any wonder EMPATHY no longer exists. When you lose your reverence (abortion- partial birth infanticide - war -lack of medical care) for one part of life you lose it for all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I googled loss of empathy and found your site.  I&#039;ve been feeling very sad in America for the loss of empathy and diminishing of soul.  I can see from this article that it may be a global problem.  I&#039;ve noticed in my own children who I loved and nurtured unconditionally, whom are now in their 30&#039;s that there seems to be little empathy shown by them.  It has been rather frightening to see them display so little interest in others problems.
I had been wondering if this were a problem unique to my family and maybe some others, or if it was a cultural problem.
This was a nice article.  I was saddened that nobody offered to help the man who had had a stroke.  I do understand more now, why older people lose interest in life.  I think people close to them lose interest in them and the lack of community and support destines them to isolation and depression.]]></description>
