The issue is that your brain is not wired to feel compassion and empathy past the people you interact with regularly. Some people can push past this with practice and training, but most people don't even think about it. Until we stop seeing strangers as threats to us and expand our empathy to encompass everyone, it won't happen. It can't happen.
