In addition to what @TLK said, I would add Tolerance. We don’t seem to tolerate anyone that is different from us and because of which we are unable to empathize with them. I know this is not the religious forum, it only takes a cursory look at the Rasoolullah’s Seerah to know how tolerant and compassionate he was.

Besides this there is a strange indifference towards victims. Its not just about people related to different sects (like Hazara people being killed in Quetta), but I’ve observed that a daily news that ‘10 people got killed in Karachi’ just feel like nothing happened in the city. There was a time, when even killing of single person lead to sadness in the area. May be as we are living in bigger cities where we hardly have any interaction with our neighbors, we lost the sense of attaching with the people around us in their happiness and in their sorrows.
