Like, if there was a good irrigation pipeline covering a big garden, but it would be connected to a limited water-supply then it would mean that not all the plants get the water they need?

In this sense, I guess that (re)connecting with empathy on instinctual level is like finding the ground water. Without that all the institutional forms are renderer somewhat useless. For institutions and the society to work properly we need more people who have inner motivation towards goodness, who feel empathy beating in their very hearts. But now it seems that especially those who have the most power also are more inclined to turning profit for themselves and their friends, leaving the rest of us just surviving on our own.
