Compassion
It’s the opposite of what people imagine…
Unless you’re a complete cunt, the more you know someone the less likely you are to be compassionate towards them in any particular set of circumstances.
Translation: if you’re not mad you allocate compassion on a needs basis.
Interpretation: you don’t want to empty the tank unnecessarily.
Interference: overly compassionate people are mad, and bad for you. Under-compassionate people are just straight bad for you. But it has to be measured circumstantially
Resolution: compassion is simply a useful tool, for the recipient and random onlookers, to filter out the mad and bad from their social botherings.
Side note: with kids, you’re best off doing a switch and bait; distraction for compassion. You don’t want to get them hooked on compassion.
