Compassion through social strife

[Sacred Fool]

Without listing everything I've grown aware of from earlier years, sometimes I had such a bitter awareness of it that it felt like the destruction of it all would be a beautiful thing. Comets grinding this global civilization to dust and burning it to ashes. Nature restarting in the absence of humanity.

Well, I guess mass destruction could be viewed as a compassionate response on some level, but I kinda doubt that it would look that way on the level of the heart.

An alternative compassionate view might be that humanity is going through a big learning process due to the deviations and mistakes that were made since the Copper Age.  But I think that if you sit back a little and view it on the scale of millennia, there is much to be optimistic about.

Sometimes it can be hard to differentiate one's misgivings about self from one's feelings about others or the larger fabric of evolution in general.
