empathic civilization


I never realized how truly powerful empathy is and can be.

I thought it was really interesting when he said that there wouldn't be any empathy in utopia, because we wouldn't need it with out any suffering.  How would we connect with other people if there was no empathy?  Utopia doesn't sound like such a warm and friendly place then.  Would we be isolated in ourselves with happiness?  That just seems odd.  Is this why we aren't meant to find/create utopia? Something to think about...
