More Positive but Less Harvestable

[3DMonkey]

It's really quite simple.

Key word "Compassion"

General Patton had a dilemma, which involves defending what he loved and murdering in the name of it. He was the General of the United States Army and vowed to protect the citizens from all enemies foreign and domestic. He's apart of the Army and commanded troops and like most commanders they develop bonds with their soldiers and held the utmost important mission to protect and preserve America's freedom even if it mean killing in the name of it. Patton chose the mundane act of commanding troops to kill, whilst still questioning in mind whether he should be commanding troops to kill off enemies, after all they are human beings capable of the same emotions you're capable of bringing about, the only difference is they aren't humans of the geographical region you protect. If he truly lived with compassion or universal love he wouldn't kill in the name of his country. He'd see them in the same light of his fellow human beings residing in his home country.

Thank you.

I got the impression that he did begin to see them in the same light and with the same love. This is what polarized him more positive, I guess. At the same time, it seems his glimpse of this light/love, accompanied by him turning away from it, is what made him "less harvestable." The being an example of the Way of Responsibility- his glimpse gave him understanding and a responsibility to choose what to do with it.
