I argue that empathy, and the sympathy and compassion that flow from it, are the only things a person can be rightly judged by. It matters not one’s wealth, race, skill, ambition, charm, etc. Those are nice to have and can make life easier, but they don’t make a person better or worse. It only matters that they care about others, and anyone that cares about others and acts like it is a great person even if mistakes have been made.

If you think you’re a loser because you don’t have a girl/boyfriend and live with your parents or something but you care about others, you are a far greater person than Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or anyone like that to be certain.
