if we can agree that a psycho lacks empathy, this means he lacks something. this means he is poor. help the poor. help the psycho. he doesn't understand empathy.
children also don't understand empathy. this is why they torture bugs and stuff cats down a toilet and such.
we love children yet hate psychos, but they're not so different.
are children psychos or are psychos children? it really depends on how you view it.
we accept horrid behaviour from our children and our pets that we would never ever accept from adults.

Its probably more so in modern times, but we always gave kids an exception... the only thing that changed was the age.
When a baby bites a womans nipple no one cares, when a grown ass adult does it no one will excuse it... there is some age where we accept behaviors we wouldnt from adults... the line moves, but there is always a line.
I mean the liune is definately moving.. but we must admit that there is a line where we treat people different.
i mean if a woman hugs a baby and the baby grabs the breast and starts sucking through the shirt I bet everyone would laugh... last night at the bar when i did it I got kicked out!
The broader point that kids are given certain exceptions is an OLD point that was discussed in St Augustine's Confessions.
> And of course the tantrums. Witness “the actions of a child who begs tearfully for objects that would harm him if given, gets into a tantrum when free persons, older persons and his parents, will not comply with his whims, and tries to hurt many people who know better by hitting out at them as hard as his strength allows, simply because they will not immediately fall in with his wishes or obey his commands, which would damage him if carried out?” The little rotter.
@freemo @thor IDK. In this generation, if a 10 year old boy bites a woman's nipple, IDK if he'd necessarily get punished.
Give us a couple decades, and if an adult bites a woman's nipple, society would demand that we have empathy for him during his mental health episode lol
