To Empathize Or Not To Empathize by t00dugged(f): 5:20pm On May 24, 2020
As a third party ,when someone is being served their karma, does it make you bad person if you refuse to empathize or even intervene in their situation because the person is reaping what they sowed?

Prov 24:17
Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice

my question is is it wrong not to help out and allow them serve their karma? It's not about rejoicing here.

I never said rejoice but allow them serve their karma by not attempting to salvage their situation even if you are in the position to do so.

What's revenge in allowing people reap what they sow? Isn't that what the same Bible says undecided

Besides why is it revenge if I am not the one that was offended? I just don't want to stop God's punishment in their lives.

salvage their situation even if you are in the position to do so.

Compare the two bolded. You wrote them. Are they the same? Stop deceiving yourself

Revenge is being pleased seeing others punished for their mistakes

Revenge does not necessarily means you as the trigger.....Your reaction says it all

well, it depends. If you can help, that's not the time to keep quiet or mind your biz

God preaches forgiveness too above all

It depends on the help you want to render. If he's found guilty, let him do his terms and support him as soon as he's out to get back on his feet

am I supposed to emphasize more with the offender or offended? Cos you have failed to realize there is actually a victim who deserves all the empathy more.

show empathy to both.

E.g Sorry, but you have to go to jail (for offender)
Sorry for your loss, justice has prevailed (for offended)

You have to be neutral dear

As an infj, I'm naturally very empathetic. That said, I will control it in a situation that calls for it / if I feel someone doesn’t deserve it.

So you don't believe God punishes and rewards? Also blesses and curses?
