Disagree with the above extreme comments about having no empathy or only having it when it suits you.

This post is about moderation. Be balanced when empathize with people around you. Empathy is feeling what they feel and doing something about it.

It is the doing something about it that you need to control.

From a kind of Zen perspective, when we focus all our mind's power onto one thing it's power is limitless (able to solve any problem).

Unfortunately we have the habitual tendency to splinter the mind into many strands of thinking thereby rendering each strand powerless (moving from problem to problem).
