The Failure of Empathy : Introspection !!

"We live in a world where challenges are commonplace. When faced with adversity, we often attribute it to divine tests for ourselves and the consequences of past actions(karmas) when it happens to someone else. 




Isn't this a rather callous perspective? Do we consciously or unconsciously engage in such thinking? How self-centered are we as humans? Why are we unable to genuinely empathize with the suffering of others, but instead, find ourselves, sometimes, laughing at their pain? Why does our intellect hinder us from being more compassionate and kind? What prevents us from being better? Is this a true reflection of our inner selves?"

Time for genuine introspection??
