Congrats you are the person in the meme.
No I'm not. The meme is a attack on the very concept of empaty for those wretched disabled souls who lack it. The lack of it is at the heart of every wrong commited in todays world. If we could identify these people and teach the foolish to ignore them we wouldn't have the horror in china, Palistine and the US. Using the US miltary reporting on mental health diagnoses we know that twenty percent of the population lacks empathy and that twenty percnet, that minority is keeping the normal population from acheiveing wonders.
No its not an attack on empathy. Empathy isnt projecting your own thoughts onto people and believing wholeheartedly that you are correct. Its trying to put yourself in their shoes and understand how they are feeling. "Trying to understand" being the difference here. .
