As for social norms still again the empathy is there, for example if it was a monthly thing for a tribe of people in there society to feed a person to the local crocodile but one child in the tribe saw the pain an suffering it caused that person and didn't like these ways he is more in touch with empathy which surpass the norms of his tribe, do you get what i mean?

thats what i think about this.

You're slightly mistaken here. Primary psychopaths, which are predominantly pathological do not experience empathy. Secondary psychopaths, a more environmentally influenced categorization are perfectly capable of such feelings. Often times too much so, leading to anxietal and explosive traits.
