I believe you are born with empathy. To display it for the very first time it must be there to begin with. The empathy I am talking about is not the shallow sort that everybody aspires too. The empathy I am talking about can not be ignored or changed. Bit like a persons deep forgiveness of a killer just before being killed. Jesus had the empathy I am talking about. You can not get rid of it, it is inherent. You can be being beaten to death and still have empathetic feelings for the killer. That is empathy.
And I am not saying everybody is born with it.
