humans are bad at predicting or remembering emotional states other than the one they're in. this is why, the longer you spend in a social context that coerces compassion from you, the more you forget that you ever had freely arising compassionate impulses of your own

imagine how inadequate your callousness might be if you behaved no more callously than you actually feel
