The following animation/lecture from the Royal Society of Animation suggests that human beings are not naturally wired for hate or worse, apathy, but rather are soft wired for empathy.
Is the distinction from the RSA that we are only 'soft' wired, not hard wired, for empathy a subtle reminder that while we naturally have the capacity to empathize, we are still responsible for actually acting out this capaiblity?
