Empathy and Monsters

Friedrich Nietzsche said more than a century ago, “Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.”

"...On the Internet we forget that people are dimensional.”

The main obstacle is the lack of empathy. Psychologists say that empathy is learned two ways. The first is by seeing, hearing or even smelling how your action has hurt someone else — something that is not available to those behind a screen and keyboard. The second is to experience something painful yourself.
