> I’d like you to keep in mind that we can train ourselves to feel more compassion rather than more empathic distress.

having compassion in a world that lacks functioning sensory machinery to realize the pain it creates to achieve its goal is like deliberately giving yourself to the mongols during their invasion. It is not that they did not care, they simply had no conscious. Having compassion for someone about to kill you, it s accepting we never had a choice, you pardon, not because you don't fear to feel the pain, but because you internalized that it required you to feel the pain, as a protagonist, as a prosthesis, for it to also feel the emotion through the other protagonist, it evaluates the result, for the result to happen, we are assigned roles.

it all looks very religious, though, it is not, you must never let you go to some fantasy, just accept that contradictions have a purpose.
