Empathy and curiosity are skills. Most people have them in some level and expand them; but usually only as far as their own lived experience requires it. The stunting of these two things enable most of the “evil” we see in society.
But they *are* skills, and they *can* be taught and grown.
I have always said and will always say; they’re *the* fundamental skills. They should be taught at school. As curriculum. They are the guiding stars for everything else. (1/3)
