Many of us go through life understanding that we should care about people suffering far away from us, but failing to.

That is the thing that I never got. If I tell my brain to model a mind that cares, it comes up empty. I seem to literally be incapable of even imagining the thought process that would lead me to care for people I don't know.

If anybody knows how to fix that, please tell me.
