Living the LOO

[paddy]

...Consequently, the compassion for those in darkness was balanced by the appreciation of the light...

so how might this affect those who dwell in darkness, if at all?

This seems to link to ideas of Buddhism, where compassion for those of suffering may allow one to psychically bridge to another in a way where their suffering burdens are eased. Its difficult to describe unless one's experienced it. The word compassion roots to ideas of feeling together, of communing together in ways that may facilitate healing.

In some regard, there may be no escape from Living the LOO, it just is - either conscious or not. I think for people who arrive to that realization may be better able to live in its harmony despite the apparent ignorance that goes on, both in themselves and others.
