The Sin of Empathy and the Problem with Anomaly in Western Culture

Western culture is currently experiencing a shift where societal norms are being influenced by anomalies, particularly in areas like anorexia and gender identity. In cases of anorexia, there is a call to validate feelings rather than address the core issues. This trend reflects a broader 'sin of empathy,' where emotional support is incorrectly prioritized over logical problem-solving. The argument is made that true sympathy should involve an objective stance to effectively tackle issues. Furthermore, statistical evidence suggests that a significant percentage of children with gender dysphoria may resolve their identities naturally if not subjected to social or medical transitions. Instead, parents are often coerced with extreme choices regarding their children's identities, which reflects a troubling manipulation of their concerns.
