17. "Wtf, do these people think humans come with a dial that can be set to the emotion of our choice?"

Well, you are referring to the people who usually have no emotions and therefore are empty and devoid of compassion and the ability to empathize. They have to be told how to feel. So, in a sense, they do have a 'dial'.

Most people just have not bothered to become educated about the issue and that is thanks to a bunch of ancient crap that some age groups/regions refuse to let go of. Hell, just the other day I had to endure a good friend's continued rant about chiropractors, based solely on 'I heard about this guy...', and 'I read about this girl...'. Of course, he could not provide the story he read about. He is of the generation that thought such medicine was 'quackery'. He has never bothered to find out about any aspect of it since.

(I got my neck popped on Friday. We have been working on my having a very bad crick in my neck while enduring COVID. I was unable to move it much for about a month. TWO sessions with my guy, it is almost completely gone. The feeling of release is beyond description. Just knowing I can turn my head now without pain is so amazing.)
