So you want to stop doing harm out of the goodness of your heart instead of being a "bad person" that doesn't do harm?
But... isn't that if you don't harm other ppl you are actually a good person?
Empathy is a result of mirror neurons. Their effectiveness differs from person to person. You are born with a certain level of empathy and you can't really change that. Do you need to feel this magic, pure, disneyish empathy to be considered a decent human being? No! Then what should you to be percieved as such?
Just use a freaking
common sense
.
If you want to do something just think before that "Is it going to harm someone?". If not, then do that. If yes, then don't. It is that simple. If you learn some pattern on what is harmful and what not , you don't need empathy at all.
Also there's nothing wrong in doing good things for your own interests ( unless you want to harm someone in the future). People do such because living in harmony = good things for them, and being an asshole = yeah it might be fun for a while but it's gonna backfire on them anyway.
