Most of us live in a Jackal world where we take turns using the other person as a waste basket for our words.

It's harder to empathize with those who appear to possess more power, status, or resources.

We're not taught to think in terms of needs. We don't make nice dead people when we're in touch with needs. Domination structures cannot maintain themselves when citizens are educated to be alive.

When we are in contact with our feelings and needs, we humans no longer make good slaves and underlings.

Before we tackle the gangs and the basic story, we have to make sure that we have liberated ourselves from how we have been educated and make sure we are coming from a spirituality of our own choosing.

We give empathy to others for our own benefit.

Depression is the reward we get for being 'good'.
