Thank you for adding evidence to this 'long game' of the void of empathy. Trauma is not something easily realized outside of the being experiencing it. And the 'reaction' to it is perhaps stochastic in nature, random, and the responses to it from society can either nurture a healing or expand a damaging event into a setup for more damage, real or imagined. Damage becomes repetitious, urging its own addiction, even setting up a weird kind of Stockholm Syndrome of enjoying or identifying with drama/trauma. Then, whenever a 'low' in the nor-epinephrine cycle occurs, which is narcotic in nature, the 'need' is overwhelming to create another drama/trauma. Persons can become completely habituated to this cycle, and without it become, unbalanced to the point of nihilism.
