This is the Turning PointLove you Charlie

Psalm 34: 18
(1599 Geneva Bible)
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I keep seeing people post about how Charlie Kirk said he “hated the word empathy.” (I’m looking at YOU…. skinny-jeans, stool sitting, iPad reading, designer glasses preachers out there…..ok that’s rough, but you know I’m right. Right?)

Charlie’s point about hating the word empathy wasn’t that he despised compassion, but that he drew a sharp line between empathy and biblical compassion. “Empathy” as our culture defines it has become weaponized. It demands that you feel exactly what someone else feels and, in doing so, surrender truth, logic, and boundaries.

Still reading? Good. Buckle up.

“Empathy” today doesn’t mean caring for people. It means surrendering truth for feelings. It demands that we celebrate destructive lifestyles, affirm harmful decisions, and silence truth under the guise of “walking in someone else’s shoes.” The result? A culture more fragile, more offended, and more easily manipulated than ever before.

Real compassion calls us to love our neighbor, but also to tell the truth that leads to life. Toxic empathy, on the other hand, insists we affirm every lie, every delusion, every self-destructive choice or else be labeled hateful.

This is why families collapse. Why children are confused. Why leaders cave under pressure. Empathy, stripped from truth, becomes tyranny disguised as kindness.

We don’t need more fake empathy. We need courage. We need compassion rooted in truth. We need people willing to care enough to speak what is real, even when it hurts feelings. Because lies kill, but truth sets people free.

If you disagree….well I feel sorry for you. See what I did there? Love y’all.

empathy

noun

em·pa·thy ˈem-pə-thē 

1: the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another (Miriam-Webster)

Synonyms: compassion, understanding,

Empathy and sympathy are really two different things… empathy is feeling, sympathy is understanding, to keep it simple.

What the left wants is not empathy or sympathy, by the classic definition. They’re more narcissistic than empathetic or even sympathetic. An “agree with me or else” mentality, which is narcissistic. They can’t stand anything different. Empathy honestly demands boundaries, truth and logic.

I’ll have to go deeper into this at a later time, but this will suffice for now.

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!
