>Empathy leads you to feel like the elk, OOOOOH, I bet that arrow really hurt... < and taht's exactly what happens! Most every first- or second-time hunter has to go thru the "murder shakes" after dropping a big game animal. Hunters have to do this schizophrenic compartmenting thing. Calling that elk a lovely creation is more than mere aesthetic appreciation. For the outdoor fella, it's an epiphany of connectedness, followed by the supreme paradox of, uhm, taking its soul od some such. Guys are quite enpathetic around animals and other guys. Look at the way they handle dogs, or look at the "mass leg cross" when the football audience witnesses a shot to the jimmies. The group spokesman will pipe up and say "Man, That's gotta hurt!" I think where most men run into empathy trouble is with cats and with female humans over the age of eight. Social premises diverge to the point of bilinguality. I consider myself to possess above-average (interhuman) empathy. But am I vulnerable? That's one for the Ladies to answer.
