We can never forget that the other team is trying to win too. I applauded the kid who got my kid out, it was a great hit and great catch. I told my son that from here on out, he needs to look at the shift & adjust his swing accordingly. Lesson learned, nobody is untouchable.

Appreciation for the skill of the opposition is important for building empathy and humanizing “the other.”

Our societal tendency to take things to extremes is to blame for the way this is being perceived. Failure to humanize “the other” leads to death camps. You don’t need to roll over as a doormat for your enemies to be able to empathize with them. You do need empathy for diplomacy

Empathy and humanizing the other prevents things like “Our candidate lost so now the evil Nazis are in control and will be rounding us all up to murder us so we should assault them in the streets.”

When empathy and humanizing the other are seen as weakness, the chance for peace disappears. Hunter is instilling a hope for the future into his children by teaching them these skills. Empathy doesn’t mean they won’t take up arms against enemies when it’s required.

We teach empathy to children. Or we don’t, and we get modern society.

Tell that to my son who clubs his infant sister in the face with his toy dinosaur for crawling in his space.
