I understand and I've been following your posts. I didn't mean it in a antagonistic way (which gets lost in translation via only written word). When I was new to LOO I saw everything as perfect and then it caused me to not care about anything and to not feel responsible for any actions because, "it was destined to happen and no free-will in actuality was infringed upon." I used this thinking to harden myself (and still do at times) to a point where I don't have compassion, or rather, don't feel compelled to help hurting entities.
But then there is the question: what is compassion? Is it helping other at the expense our own composure? Is it watching from afar seeing the big picture and merely understanding others' suffering without offering help?
