Ok, but only for a year and not for you.

Okay, let’s try this.
Every single human being, gradually, develops empathy and awareness to how their choices affects themselves and others.
This is to happen over a period of a year and will not lead people to despair but to understand the poor choices they have made throughout their lives and lead them to live better lives, with no malice arbored towards others and themselves.
This effect will include the granter of this wish.

If things improve around you, you’re benefitted yourself. Pay attention.
And there is no temporary clause in what I stated.
People undergo the process during the lenght of a year. The outcome permanence is not dependent of that window of time.

Yeah, but you’re going to have to put in the work to empathize with us to understand what you’ve put us through. So it will be pretty obvious to everyone you made the wish because you’ll be having to think through answers to questions about empathy that will be trivial to everyone else. You have a few months to practice, you should get started. I think this will be a good exercise in empathy for you as you wont have a crutch.
And there is no temporary clause in what I stated.
You never said for how long.

Yes, so the wish can end as soon as the minimum duration you specified ends.

No, it doesn’t.
The magic effect is on the triggering of the process to start to develop empathy. Forcefully. The empathy itself is yours, even after the event. And the magic being. Lets see if they like having a conscience. Does not get cancelled. The event does.
I did not state a temporary duration for the effect of the outcome of the process. There is no temporary clause on that. The time frame is established for the duration of the process.
And what is the down side on the first part of your remark?
The event lasts one year. And it is gradual. It is not a snap of a finger and people become highly empathic. Everyone else will have a more accelerated growth, granted, but I’ll be forced to grow in tandem.

The seed of a psychic link between all humanity has been planted by your request, and gradually grows throughout the year. At first, people can only vaguely feel how others are feeling. Over the course of a year, everyone in the same room feels the feelings of everyone else as though the feelings were their own. By the year 2035, humanity is psychically connected to the maximum degree: the Harmonic Human Horde is complete. We now have world peace, but at the cost of our individuality:

This isn’t a business transaction, where I ask for something and you take something else in return. It is a magical wish.
You don’t get to decide how empathy works between people. It is already an established mechanism. Your job is to nudge it to develop at an enhanced rate between individuals in a given time frame.
The world remains the same. Humans remain the same.
So, if this is what you have to offer, keep your offer.

Your mortal understanding is limited. And a hive mind consciousness would be more empathetic, no?

Our opinions diverge.
