Default Re: Why ?

[ QUOTE ]


You are watching a film. The main character is murdered. The main character is an old illiterate woman in Tibuktu. (In other words, someone as far away from your situation, as posible.)

You feel awe and regret.

Why ?

Empathy. I'm pretty sure DS's "disgust" is more or less a form of empathy as well.
