“Empathy cannot be taught” - Hridisthita

If Westerners had so much empathy, we wouldn't have seen the wave of colonization and mass conversion by hook or crook. We lack money. Civic sense will follow. When the West was poor, it was a wild wild west. A person is never dirty, ugly, or insane. He is just poor.

As a South Indian, I agree with it 100%. It's a fact because civic sense is cultural, and unfortunately we don’t have that healthy culture in here, also we are not going to have it in the next 100 years for sure.

this should be dubbed in all indian languages and shared country wide .

Nope this is not it. You think people in the west have empathy? It's all about education and some discipline. The government might have some flaws as well but ultimately it comes down to the public to take care of the public property.

ab empathy kaise laaye logo me 💔

Invest in proper education

I don’t agree that Indians lack empathy as it’s individual nature and can’t be generalized. A strict system and education system can maybe help

Indians are morally and culturally corrupt , all our epics are unethical and political wrong

No, i dont think civic sense comes from empathy. It comes from moderate wealth, egalitarianism (culture of shame for sloven behaviour), and strong militaristic history (strong military history instills disciplined cultural habits).

"They grow without empathy for their own people" 💔 As heartbreaking it is , sadly that's the reality. I myself couldn't have explained it better. Every single sentence is on point. 🔥

Load of 💩 Indians can be amazingly empathetic and concerned about others and can be sometimes cruel like all people To have civic sense you need cities and planning

Baat toh sahi hai

Also it lies in Children's Education. Having a system in Schools can change this

on spot!

Lol! If it's on the internet, it must be true! Empathy can't be taught?! Really??? Who wrote this piece? Fire them, please!

Nop. It’s just your brown complex. West used to be dirty and disgusting when they were at our developmental stage Our folk bring the rural ethos to cities - soil absorbed all food and animals eat all vegetable peels. In cities nothing eats the western plastic packaging

So that’s the reason why that place is a 💩 forgotten by God, non basic hygiene ever existed there…

So true

Sad truth.

It’s not only India. It’s the whole world. Even the so called Developed countries citizens do not have civic sense. Digest that.

This! 👌🏼

I am from assam and as an indian i totally agree with your statement that the civic sense is absent in many people in our country. But would you believe a few literate people can try to change this through following the civic sense instead of blaming to other's .

It will come automatically if cost of cleaning increases and there is shortage of manpower accompanied by hefty fines.

We can’t sit around hoping for empathy. “Civic sense isn’t a rule”. It needs to be. It is very much quantifiable. We need more authority in making and implementing these rules. Severe rules with severe punishments.

The government must enforce strict at any cost, corruption-free governance, impose heavy fines equally on rich and poor, involve students and communities in awareness rallies. With consistent effort, visible results can be achieved in 5 years.

Meanwhile

There are many bloody uncivic unpatriotic people in India that does not have any kind of empathy towards the society.

Singapore Lee Kwan yew beat civic sense into his people I think it’s a really good proven method cane people in broad day light see what happens how quickly they develop civic sense

no time for empathy when u r 150 crore. no time to process emotions when u r in rat race for basic needs. no time to care when u r struggling to survive. only option is dictatorship

i call it bull*hit! y’all need to do a better job

Agree to some extent. Most Indians are just loud and rude.
