You're taught empathy by empathetic parents.

And we see now a lot of families have a long lineage of cunts.

    My father wondering why my brother is psychotic, after he laughed at and teased him every time he cried, and told him men don't cry. I knew this, and tried the soft approach, but he told me he is way older and more experienced, that he knows what he is doing.

    My brother broke his hand with a stick. To be fair, I found it hard to be empathetic to a child crying because they didn't get something also, I'd just crack up if it was something absurd, I couldn't help it. We lived like absolute shit, and he is freaking out because he lost in a game.
