    I recall reading or hearing something a number of years ago that basically said a human is only capable of really caring about a small number of people (single digits) and generally caring about a slightly larger number. Anyone outside of those circles is an NPC

      True. But that doesn’t excuse someone’s decisions when they are presented with the consequences of their actions. Even if it doesn’t affect anyone you know, you can still make moral decisions about how to treat them.
