apatheticagnostic I don't think so - but I'm going to have to think about that for a while. Good question! However, since empathy is "being able to feel the emotion of another" - I would assume that one would either have to have a good imagination, or would have had to have...

apatheticagnostic Yes, I always tell people my age if they are curious - most people are surprised that I'm not older. Why would I not? Age is inevitable, and is not something to be ashamed of, unless you have entirely wasted your existance - at least in my opinion.
