[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 37052, member: 3353"] That's an interesting question, Allan. I need to think about that a little before I answer. Humor is part of it, I agree. A sense of humor does not exist without there first having been an evolution of detached perspective. Or maybe I am thinking intelligence here, and not education. I agree with your take that the evolution of empathy is as likely when you stand behind the counter at the grocery store (but not WalMart or McDonald's) as the evolution of that capacity through the reading and studying encouraged at university. (IS that what a good education gives us, finally? The potential for a broader, more diversified capacity for empathy?) Barbara [/QUOTE]
