@VeroniqueB99 I really think sadism against bad guys is not a good thing to indulge in at all! All it does is make you more like them, it actively impoverishes you! Don't give in to the urge! You will be better off for it! Please cultivate sympathy even for the worst if you don't want to end up just bringing yourself down to their horrific level. I am begging you, I am begging you, I am begging you! Please do not do this, you are throwing your soul into a burning pit of garbage for quick laughs. Know that whoever replaces him is just going to be another republican of equal depravity, so his death will be in vain anyways. "Diddly dong, the mitch is dead" is fun to say but will just make you into a cold monster. Knock it off! All you are doing is hurting yourself! You guys are hurting yourselves! Mitch McConnell is unaffected by dancing on his grave, whilst you are degraded. @anneguisinherba @Natsura @HappyCrow13 @em_and_future_cats @jhooper @Oldfartrant #sympathy #compassion #empathy #kindness

People are often kind only to those who look obviously needy or disabled. If someone's weakness is invisible, people often assume everything is OK and expect that person to measure up to society's expectations for healthy people.

Patience is the master key to every situation. One must have sympathy for everything, surrender to everything, but at the same time remain patient and forbearing.

Smiles are contagious; so are tears; to see
Another sobbing, brings a sob from me.
No, no, good Peleus; set the example, pray,
And weep yourself; then weep perhaps I may.

humani voltus. Si vis me flere, dolendum est

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Almost everybody is deeply affected when some one he loves suffers from cancer. Most people are moved when they see the sufferings of unknown patients in hospitals. Yet when they read that the death-rate from cancer is such-and-such, they are as a rule only moved to momentary personal fear lest they or some one dear to them should acquire the disease. The same is true of war: people think it dreadful when their son or brother is mutilated, but they do not think it a million times as dreadful that a million people should be mutilated. A man who is full of kindliness in all personal dealings may derive his income from incitement to war or from the torture of children in “backward” countries.
All these familiar phenomena are due to the fact that sympathy is not stirred, in most people, by a merely abstract stimulus. A large proportion of the evils in the modern world would cease if this could be remedied.Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/828…
