Does compassion actually help anyone?

It perpetuates life.

Even the animal kingdom has examples.

Without it life can go extinct very quickly.

You might be a sociopath.

Compassion does nothing. Compassion is not action. You're referring to the action that compassion inspires. That's great, but the compassion itself is mostly useless as I described in the original post.

And so might you.

What's your point?

Let me put this another way. You said something a sociopath would say.

What does that have to do with whether or not it's true?

You haven't addressed the topic of this thread at all.

Does compassion actually help anyone?

No idea tbh I've expressed compassion and sympathy to many people in life and did I ever receive that in return? Hell no!

Yes, it helps people not be sociopaths.

You're claiming compassion helps the person feeling it to be a better person? Do you have evidence for that claim?

Yes compassion is what we need in this day if Jesus did not have compassion we would all be thrown into the lake of fire

I'm starting to get the feeling that you said something that you knew would be inflammatory so that you could start an argument. Are you that bored? Maybe lonely?

No "might" about it.

It doesnt help sociopaths.

Why are you obsessed with me?

Compassion fucking sucks! Only retarded losers have or like compassion!

Your premise is that compassion helps the person feeling it to be a better person? I am waiting for evidence for that claim.

Compassion helps the individual who has it. It is a much healthier frame of mind than being filled with anger, judgement, hatred....

true compassion is action though wouldn't it be?

When parents are too compassionate, they take the risk of spoiling their child. No one likes to be around a spoiled rotten child.

Yes.

It's a loser emotion. It's all about losing.

Do you have any evidence that's true?

I have co-workers who are all full of their 'feelings', but ask them to step up and do something and they insist that it's 'not their problem'. Thoughts and prayers, sure, but nothing else.

Have compassion for yourself first, so that you can have REAL compassion for others.

I just can't stand spoiled rotten children who were raised without manners or polite jesters.

Do you have kids op?….people are no different.

This.

Compassion has inspired a world where begging is rewarded more than being responsible. It has resulted in a labor market where drug and alcohol addicts are a class above the clean and sober; where the disabled have more rights and protections than the able.

OP has asked a very important question.

It's hilarious how when you ask a controversial existential question here, people attack the original poster. Why is that?

This thread reveals that most GLPers have the same mindset as the "ordinary" people they despise.

"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." - Albert Einstein

I used to have compassion for others.

Then I realized none of them have compassion for me, so why bother?

In fact most of them go out of their way to lie, cheat, and steal from me. They make my life a miserable hell.

So now I don't give a fuck about anyone but myself.

Don't blame me, blame this dipshit society.

What? You're going to say "well you don't need to stoop down to their level".

Well guess what? It doesn't fucking matter if I do it or not.

Fuck off and get used to it asshole.
