I didn't say you were heartless, I said you are experiencing a world that is quite heartless and has normalised it in many ways. In truth, I feel that almost everyone has some degree of heartlessness in them, but I am not judging that to be the case in you as I do not know you.
None the less, we clearly do not see things through the same eyes.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, yes - this pudding is still being prepared in a form that you can consume.
