  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.

        Anything that was specified for a duration can be interpreted to end once that duration is up. You never specified what happens after the year. Since nothing is enforcing that empathy after the first year, maintaining it would come down to individual people. And maintaining one state of mind indefinitely is not normal for the vast majority of people.

        And what is the down side on the first part of your remark?

        You’re going to have empathize with other people to figure that one out. The most people can do during the year is give you a stern talking to. After the year, people are going to feel all sorts of things. Some of which will inevitably be about you.
