When you hurt others you truly hurt yourself.
This is truer than you might think. When you hurt others it is a reflection on you, and not your victim. Many times people do bad things to others because they think lesser of them. Like, it's okay to steal from someone because he's an idiot, or because he's weak. When, in reality, all this proves is that the thief is a thief, unrespectable, untrustable.

I think, Justin, you have touched on the very key needed for global salvation. Not Christ, not a NWO....compassion. Extrasensory-based compassion.edit on CSaturdayam585821f21America/Chicago05 by Starchild23 because: (no reason given)
Ra: I am Ra. The fourth density, as we have said, abounds in compassion. This compassion is folly when seen through the eyes of wisdom. It is the salvation of third density but creates a mismatch in the ultimate balance of the entity.

It's similar to a muscle. If you relax the muscle, it stops functioning as acutely. Also, just as with eyes and ears, you can learn to "tune" in or out.
Even if it has bad side effects, it wouldn't be as bad as the apathy we see nowadays. It's better to have malfunctioning ESP than to have a complete disregard for human life because the government pays you to shoot stuff.

The way I look at it is: All things observed are observed inside the brain inside your head. So when you hurt something you are observing, you are really hurting something that's inside your own brain.
I feel I'm being misunderstood. I'm not denouncing compassion, only the way it is used for vain reasons. It's not an agent of understanding, it's benevolence and piety. It's to appear compassionate, usually so one can have a reserved seat in the afterlife or for other petty reasons. This is true.
I understand where you folk are coming from, and the intention seems good, but if this was the way the world is supposed to be, then everyone would already be compassionate. But truthfully and obviously we're not that kind of animal.
Compassion wouldn't exist without a need for it, but it does because we're humans.

Yes because if it didn't work out on Star Trek, its bound to not work out in reality.
You see, the fly to a fly is infinitely more fantastic that what a fly is to a human. And compassion is your only chance in understanding what that must be like
I think compassion is going to hit in a big way and we are going to be playing with our dogs and cats in a way we’ve never dreamed of.
