Not everything that looks like empathy is empathy.
In today’s culture, empathy is often performed to signal virtue while concealing bias or avoiding accountability. It’s used selectively, extended to those who reinforce our views and withheld from those who challenge them. That isn’t compassion. That’s moral convenience.
Real empathy doesn’t silence hard truths or excuse harm. It doesn’t get weaponized to shield hypocrisy. It holds a consistent standard, even when it’s uncomfortable or politically inconvenient.
Discernment means knowing the difference between empathy that heals and empathy that manipulates.
Protect the integrity of compassion—don’t let it be hijacked.
