just curious on peoples opinions. sometimes i have a real inner conflict over this.
for instance... a friend of mine attempted to save a man from essentially being beaten to death outside of a club and was shot between the eyes at close range.
a lesser example... today i was watching these 2 young men throwing rocks at ducks because they were in the way of them fishing, although there was a whole river with multiple different locations they could have chosen, and i had this sincere intention of going up and letting them know they're absolute cowards for doing so. but i knew in the end it wouldnt matter.. there would be no lesson learned.
then we look at the pathocracies at work in the world and were incouraged to stand up against them. but arent we just creating division in opposing action?
i feel like an important lesson is that compassion isnt necessarily an action. it can only be learned or intitially understood by observing the world taking its natural course without imposed intervention. but when do you feel is the right time to take action.
