I think you need to relaxe Tal ! I dont bother to argument so mutch why you are wrong, I just feel it...:) There is no illusion the empathy you see in two's. If you was a five, and would somehow emulate a two, you could probably do
it with fear and indenification. But I don't think there actually is so
mutch brain activity involved that those mechanism suggest. I think it comes
more naturally, like right from the heart, with not any serios "head"
prosessing. I also think you should question your own point of view, I think
you are a little biased. I think empathy is more like beeing in tune with
the world around. Something every type at a healthy level should strive for. I definitly think it's the genuine thing. You could question the reasons,
but I dont find two's to be complicated, and there are likely not so bad
reasons behind the behavior. Like a grown up kid searcing for the love it
could never get as a child, and desperatly needs to find. No, there is not mutch evil about two's, sure more evil about fives...:)
Especially those with a six wing......:) I guess the reason you think so bad about it, is that you dont have the
connection to the range of feelings that a two have. Andy - That got empathy at an uncomfortable high level, meaning I can feel
others emotions, moods and discomforts as my own, like tuning into other
people, this can be a tremondous burden too.......:) I tell you empathy is something I would not want to live without !
