Re: Is being empathic a good thing?
Empathy can be a pro or a con depending on perspective. I see it as feeling through others and as good a tool as it is for understanding each other, it does have some cons. Imagine a surgeon trying to operate while empathizing with the patient. Would probably be better when presenting the bill (that joke isn't effective on us Canadians).

Has anyone else noticed a sort of sketchy resemblance between Hotei and Santa Clause?
