I don't know.
I began to believe quite a while ago that things just are the way they are.
If they change, they change.
I happen to be programmed to be empathetic, but that doesn't necessarily mean empathy is a good thing. It is certainly something that can be good, but it could get me killed in another kind of society. I don't think I can take any credit for it, I am the product of everything that I am, and everything that has happened to me, and everything that happened to me happened because of who I am.

I'm not sure it is heartbreaking if you look at it right. I am always glad I am who I am- I can't even take credit for that, but at least it makes me a happy person- and that state of existence is a comfortable one. But maybe the people who make these odd decisions about the guilt of other people are happy too. I can't know. A lot of them don't seem happy, but maybe they are. The older I get, the less I understand.
