I think empathy is one of the core traits that sets humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom, and, without it we're destined to fail. Empathy allows us to explore such lofty concepts as the governmental structure we're trying to adhere to as a nation. The thing that's tricky, is how to develop it in our young to such a degree as to be a fundamental tenet of their lives. It seems we've failed on that account of late.

In nature, like if you were a salamander, sure. In humanity, I believe, it's quite the contrary.
Once again, empathy.
