It is said that We (the People) Have a Third Eye, but what if its Blind?

Today's Topic is MindBlindness...
It is the theoretical inability to observe and process the probable mental states (emotional, beliefs, desires, intentions,imagination...etc) of another individual that may determine what their actions/reactions will be. This often leads to major obstacles of communication and closeness between people...often enough, leading to feelings of low empathy levels due to these misunderstandings.
So...
Is it truly a lack of Empathy...or a lack of Understanding?
Better, question...do they care to understand?
Mindblindness is often connected to Autism, yet Autistic individuals have pets whom they are very nurturing (very loving) towards...is there empathy in nurturing? Very Much So...Yes!
So, to assume that a distant individual...(seemingly unwilling to compromise), may not fully understand cues (whether they are verbalized or transmitted through body language) at hand to work towards a common goal of understanding.
You can not make someone else care, but it would be nice if they did.
and
When they seem like they might, that is one small step in the same directed path...
every journey starts with an initial step...followed by an endless walk...
