Me? Fairly well I'd say. But at the same time, with desire for some or other improvements, and general understandings too...
I reek of compassion. 🤔
shareI have this little tickle in the back of my mind that says, "i think i'm supposed to care about this..."
sharePeople say I am very empathetic and compassionate. I guess I can agree with them, but I think it depends. I'm more compassionate towards humans than other animals, for example.
shareI feel sorry for samoanjoes and his puns.
Does that count?
Err, maybe by a very tiny percentage but not too hugely.
shareAlso, does wishing bad people like violent criminals of certain varieties say vengeful retribution REALLY make us as bad as them, OR, is it not as simple and at least understandable and if it really is the former, how come stories of good defeating evil and even vengeful scenarios are often embraced and understood by many generally 'good people' out there, or is nothing too absolute and everything relative?
Also, HAVE I BEEN TOO BAD including here and elsewhere, and OK, I've had my moments, in many times like 20 years ago I even had angry teenage tantrums and even indulged in bully like cusses over trivial and other matters, sometimes just messing about, but I hope that generally is all in the past and I HAVE learned from those mistakes as well. But, I am not too bad overall, right? And with times I have been questioning things, hope I haven't been too invasive, but generally understanding, also with some matters I felt they were extreme and whatnot and almost on a cosmic level, however, its just common and at times highly unfortunate reality. That I understand overall including in basic terms, AND I DIDN'T ACTUALLY ADVOCATE REAL VIGILANTE JUSTICE AT TIMES EITHER but wondered theoretically based on related emotions I've heard and had, and in some cases, it made me wonder FURTHER but made others just think BASIC.
Wishing for it and carrying it out are two different things. It's normal for a person brought up with normal values of right and wrong to wish that bad people be punished for their wrongdoings. But it's not the same as actually going to that person and punishing them yourself. Then you truly are as bad as that person.
It's one reason I find it stupid that these cowardly, spineless idiots online think hearing things they don't want to hear is "violence." Being insulted, contradicted, or disagreed with, is not the same as someone actually hitting you or trying to kill you. Trust me, I know.
I've been able to put up with a lot of emotional abuse over the years, but if someone close to me has the gall to actually hit me, because I don't cower before them or do what they want anymore, my toleration for their BS stops right there, and they will suffer the consequences.
There are plenty of people who are compassionate. But if you put that person through near-constant hell for a year or two (like say, slaving away for an elderly relative that suddenly needs constant assistance that nobody else will provide), that empathy and compassion can easily get drained away and completely gone unless that person is removed from the situation for a time. If other people have the audacity to demand empathy and compassion from that same person after 2 years of that bullshit, you're probably not gonna get a very good response.
I'm starting to understand why nuclear families are a bad idea, and why people dump their elderly relatives into nursing homes after a while. It's because they get no rest from the work, they're tired of their relative's bullshit and non-cooperation, and they've had enough.
