“You know, I read at some point that empathy is maybe part genetic. That some people are genetically wired to have more empathy than others. So maybe it’s predisposed, but I think it’s also taught. I can go back and say that my empathy ‘muscle’ was worked out by Beatles songs.
Eleanor Rigby, now that’s a song that will put blood into the muscle that is empathy. Certainly if I was predisposed to it, that song put it over the top.”
Excerpt from Pearl Jam Radio – Sirius XM channel 22
