I dunno, Dwayne is kinda old to teach him that.

is this the next logical step of "squeezing blood from a stone"? eventually if you squeeze the rock long enough it will react, going "ouch! please stop hurting me!"

since the rock has now experienced pain, it has empathy towards others because it realises what they would go through if they experienced pain.

Wait, how do we know that they don't already feel empathy?

My jade necklaces have more empathy than my granny, So yes you can.

You can try, but if it doesn't work out you'll have to take a boulder approach. 🥁

(Sorry.)

Potentially

Hm..
There might be some requirements to be met otherwise it's not gonna work.
If the person's life was all but a fairytale, you will need them to experience some difficulties firsthand before attempting that.
And even then.. It feels sorta off to me.

You know, it is even in the term itself.
The person needs to feel it.
You can't force what the person's expected or supposed to feel, so you do need to let them get to that point on their own.

So, yeah.
You can't.. Unless you know of a way to force your emotions and feelings onto other people without them rejecting them even on a subconscious level..?
