Ideally, what did we discuss about the potential of each of us having empathy not only for those in our own inner circle who are in need (especially family and close friends), but also for others from outgroups (even strangers) who we might perceive are in need some kind of help (e.g., suffering from discrimination, having lost their loved ones and/or belongings due to a natural disaster, who might be struggling with some form of disability, who are particularly at risk amid the pandmic, and so on)?  Are there ways we can balance our senses of individualism and egalitarianism when coexisting in our society?
