What is the source of our insensitivity and partisanship?

Question

It does not seem to matter how educated one is we tend to be insensitive when it comes to others dying or suffering... we have mechanisms to justify our crimes and demonising others as though they deserve their fate.

Have you ever considered why we are so partisan? Please share your insights.

Answer 3

Satan causes uncaring
