Why not? Why would you have to like someone to have empathy for them? I'm not saying I want anything horrible to happen to them.TimeSeeker wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 1:24 pmOoooh! Please teach me how to empathise WHILE disliking somebody.

Does that mean you "FEEL more for other people" or you "DO more good deeds for other people" ?
I don't have to FEEL empathy to recognise when your rights (freedom of choice/self-determinism) are being violated and uphold them.
