You develop Empathy when you see someone suffering the way you have and hence, you naturally develop a sense of caring towards them.

We are nothing but judgemental emotional beings who are ready to believe someone as we see fit to or based on what we are being shown.
I agree, on the whole. But I think the modern world, in the past few decades, has got special circumstances. I think sheer conceit and mass delusion has bled into the subconscious and collective unconscious of a lot of people. I think people look at, say, the homeless and people 'just getting by' and the automatic thought-process is not, "I should help those guys", but, "Why haven't they taken a degree studying design consultancy, or management consultancy, or logo-designing, after all, the jobs are very easy, and plentiful". Well, they aren't really, are they? It's no one's fault, but that doesn't change the fact that it's conceit, and finessed peer pressure baloney, and look how fragile our politics and our economies are.
(And obviously this is going off-topic, as I don't think it's the type of soul-searching @Karina-Kara is doing).
