    When Did Empathy Get Hijacked?

    The loudest voices, the angriest voices, seem to have taken over the stage. We are naturally empathetic people but only to a point. We used to be able to have a conversation and disagree without being disagreeable. We could have empathy and still disagree. Today empathy is hijacked by movements and you either agree on you're wrong and immoral. How did we get here?

    This generation came of age during the most prosperous time in human history. Parents provided their kids with every advantage and allowed them to sample the good life.

Now as that generation enters the real world, they're finding out how misleading that dreamy sales pitch really was. Like an all-inclusive vacation where the glossy brochure totally oversold the promise of the good life.

This is a tough subject but one that deserves a lot of debate and discernment.

It's crazy how far ahead of his time he was. And now 25 years later he's looking like a modern-day Nostradamus.
