What's your endgoal?

Don't try to become less empathetic - rather, stay as empathetic as you are, but also become more caring toward yourself.

I killed two men in Iraq. Empathy long gone. You do what needs to be done. Survival of the fittest.

Slightly related, are the psycho/sociopaths that help others before they help themselves? As in x-paths you'd consider "good"?
