I don't know that.
What I mean to say is that it doesn't HAVE to be that way, and that I prefer it isn't.
If my compassion developed from lifetimes of fear, I am still grateful that I reached a state of compassion. (Most of the time; it can be torture to be empathic and compassionate here
which is ironic is it not?)Even so, I would not want to perpetuate this trajectory of fear and suffering to lead to compassion (though it is, as mentioned previously, effective). I envision something more evolved and operating form a "higher" love vibration—sounds new-agey but if String Theory is revealed to be true, then vibration is the fundamental building block of the universe(s).
