The Nazis and the Bolsheviks, British security forces, the founding fathers of America, and the Vatican have all justified their actions-for good or for ill-by claiming the mystic ideals of secret societies. Inevitably, the true ideals and esoteric practices of these societies have, at times, been perverted by self-serving individuals.

Indeed, one of the best arguments in favour of empathy is that it really does make you kinder to the person you are empathising with. The main problem with empathy is that it works like a spotlight, highlighting certain people in the here and now, making their suffering salient to you. It can lead to irrational and unfair political decisions. It grounds foolish judgments and often motivates indifference and cruelty. And it can be a valuable aspect of intimate relationships.
