    Its called empathy, it helps us care about the wellbeing of others. Its more of an illness than a choice, I’m addicted to Nicotine in the same way that someone else is addicted to cocaine. And tbh, you are allowed to feel bad for people even when it was their own choice that got them into their situation. Why do we have to remove our empathy when someone makes a conscious choice? Even a bad one? (I’m not talking about extremes like murder with this question)
