In this episode Jake discusses the emotion of Contempt. Contempt is an emotion felt towards others that puts the person in an inferior, lower status position. The other person is regarded as being less in some way that the person feeling contempt considers important.
Empathy and contempt are polar opposites. Empathy involves caring about others feelings and concerns. Contempt is arrogance, "I know best", disregard, dismissal and no regard of other’s concerns. Empathy nurtures relationship bonds; contempt invites relationship problems.
