> No, healthy people are born with empathy.

Most of the reading I've done seems to suggest that that's something that's developed at a very young age, and very sensitive to early childhood environment, rather something people are born with.



It's a normal part of childhood development. The original comment suggests that hate is inborn and empathy is learned - no real evidence for that.


Empathy is a far more complex emotion.


Dogs have empathy.
