Gift of Empathy


4 comments:

  1. I feel badly for my brother for being with a MN wife. She does horrible stuff to him and the children, I've seen it. Treats him bad.

    When I was a teenager and having trouble with bullying he was bullying me too, and somehow I just can't hate him for it. I used to think it was a weakness of mine to feel empathy, but thanks to you good folks, I know that it is not.

    1. I was told I was weak to feel empathy too and to cry, when I was hit for being "too sensitive" they were literally trying to beat a good thing out and same would be for you. I guess you probably see why your brother became the way he became, I have seen that dynamic happening where the men married narcs in my family.

  2. Used to think the bullys' "might makes right" mantra was superior - and the reason I was a target was because I was inferior. Yep, that's evolution's nut-shell. No wonder there are so many narcs around.
    Am so glad the Lord is sovereign - and not the bullies or their putrid little one-liners

    1. Yes most of them follow "might makes right". Any time someone asserts their authority extremely is a red flag to me. Anytime they want to boss people around, it is a not a good thing. Yes they treat people like little underlings. Yes when they are standing before the Lord, He will show them what they have done. The power they asserted in this world will be nothing.
