What is the opposite of sadism?

Answer 1

Perhaps kindness, altruism , healing , cooperation , EMPATHY,Sensitivity,Understanding , tolerance ,FAITH not fear , Never treating anyone as LESS THAN , NEVER dehumanizing another person ,seeing life as SACRED : Problems; When people are constantly traumatized or witness/participate in violence they become desensitized. I have a theorey that people are becoming hardened to violence and as a result more violent themselves . This is apparent in everday street language and music and in other ways . A cheapening of the value of LIFE
