Life is the result of what we choose, alone and in our groups, and groupthink creates a momentum that is hard to understand from within the group.

Only compassion gives us a clear and accurate perspective on life, my friend.

And that's a fact, and its not being a factor in this site's m.o. is precisely why it is the way it is, why it is staffed by whom it's staffed by, and why its founder has the Twitter profile picture he does and why he rails against DEI.

It's also why your opinions are so valued here, and why you don't understand what I said.

Perhaps you won't be so privleged some day and then you will begin to really understand what life is really about.

Without such a gift from life, you will most likely just continue to think you understand, while asking far fewer questions than you should.

What role does compassion play in your life? That is the most genius question you can ever ask yourself, and is really the only one worth either asking or answering.

That fact is never accepted as truth by those who already "know it all". Such is the way of "facts". Unless your knowledge base is founded upon compassion, nothing truly eloquent will be perceived as such. Such is human life, my friend. All the rest is just mammalian, when it comes to human beings in their groups.

Is your group founded on compassion? That you don't value it does not mean it is not the most valuable concept in the universe.
