Do you think people are born with empathy or they learned or taught it?

In my opinion, it is taught by experience. It is only a set of manners and rules that are nurtured. Parents will make sure that a kid will not do stupid things that will simply lead him nowhere. They teach a kid what is right, so that it can find its way to behave somewhere in at least the right direction. Social experiences will form the mind of the kid. After countless experiences, the kid will recognise patterns from which it can learn to make judgements of what happens in someone else's head. Of course, everyone might encounter the same amount of experiences, but still not every kid develops empathy with the same speed. This, just like school, depends on the effort that a kid is making to understand other people. Busy friendships, difficult situations... many things may cause a kid to invest more energy in social learning. I would like to say that empathy is one of those few things that we cannot be born with.
