Empathy

This could be an interesting Thread, if it is dealt with in the manner that I think was intended.

However, if it is going to descend into another McCann Bashing Thread then I will be Deleting.

What a marvelously empathetic woman she is.

So her empathy can forgive the abductor -  at this time most people think could be CB a pedo.

Yet she can not forgive GA, who believes they are involved in what happened to Maddie

In that case then imo GA it seems is the one who has ruined there life.

More than CB the so-called abductor.

When did she say she could not forgive Amaral, and when did she say she could forgive the abductor?  My understanding is that the famous comment she made about wanting Amaral to suffer and feel fear was how she felt in the rawness of events of 2007, correct me if I'm wrong?  Kate's forgiveness comment was made in 2013 I believe.  So six years separates the emotions she was feeling and expressing.  And of course there is always the possibility that the forgiveness comment about the abductor was an attempt at reaching out to the abductor himself ("What abductor??" I hear you all shriek in unison) in a vain hope that he may offer himself up for forgiveness and reveal Madeleine's whereabouts.

All threads do, so why should this one be any different?

Interesting you believe Kate is quite capable of saying something untrue if it might get her what she wants & also......why are you discriminating against men again?

Well, hopefully, it won't be a GA bashing thread either.

For my own part, I do feel sorry for people who are suffering, but I do not feel their pain.  How could I?

Revenge?  This is an emotion that I have felt, but it never goes further than feeling a desire for revenge.  And it never does any good anyway, mainly because the people who inflict the pain don't have any real idea of what they have done.

Watch It.

You were the one who raised the subject of Amaral, on two counts.

Watch It.

Watch what?

Making an observation?

Opposing Misandry?

Are these things that are punishable under forum rules?

Not quite, but you are getting there.  Any more of it and you will get more Warning Points.

Further I think it’s absolutely possible to feel empathy for individuals while questioning their choices..like a burglary victim who has left their windows open.

Interesting that you find anything I have to say interesting.  and I'm not discriminating against men, I'm discriminating against women, denying them the right to be thought of as paedo abductors, so sue me EHRC.

I don't question other people's choices.  Not my business.  And I have made enough bad choices myself.  At which point the last thing I need is someone pointing out the obvious.

If any of you reply to questionable comments then your comment will be deleted along with the questionable comment.

I think we all internally question people’s choices even though we don’t give voice to them. It’s ironic that someone else’s bad choices often helps us make better ones.
