John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says “don’t be fooled by the empathy trap.” Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”

      As always torn between being very happy that John C. Reilly is speaking sense, and very sad that my expectations for human decency have dropped so low.

      I love when one of your favourite actors turns out to be a favourite human being too

      He’s a gem. And his work as Mister Romantic is deeply rooted in this same belief in empathy and love.

    4. Empathy and care for others and our planet are what makes humans remarkable, why we are pushing to erase that should surely be questioned. Reilly is very right!

      I met him once when I worked at O’Hare Airport in Chicago. Super nice guy and even took a picture with me. As a fellow empath keep spreading your kindness and wisdom John!
