I read recently that in societies where empathy increases, justice decreases. It puzzled me at first, but it makes sense. Philanthropy is all about compassion and empathy – giving. But that doesn't make it fair. In fact, often it’s another way of making sure some are benefactors and can feel great about themselves, while others are poor and crushed and have to feel permanently grateful if they get anything at all. ⬇️ #MoralPsychology #AutisticThinking #Justice #Logic #Reasoning

    Charity responds to the suffering person in front of us. Justice asks why people keep ending up there. And strangely enough, the second (the colder-sounding proposition) is often the more humane one, at the end of the day. Then there's autism. ⬇️
