Comment on On Caring

If you acctully think it's sad (Do you?), then you have a higher order set of values that wants you to want to care about others.

If you want to want to care, you can do things to change yourself so that you do care. Even more importantly, you can begin to act act as if you care, because "caring about the world isn't about having a gut feeling that corresponds to the amount of suffering in the world, it's about doing the right thing anyway."

All I know is that I want to the sort of person who cares. So, I act as that sort of person, and thereby become her.
