Empathy makes for very bad law, because it isn’t law at all.

It’s a subjective response to the suffering of others.

And often those who excel at marketing their suffering aren’t suffering at all, while those who are genuinely suffering remain silent. Empathy-based law commodifies pain, but it’s empty of justice.

You're right - one of his best. Thanks for sharing the link.

“Empathy-based law codifies pain, but it’s empty of justice.”

But the son who murdered his parents and then ask for sympathy as he is an orphan disagreed!
