Learning Ways of Love

[Aureus]

I hope you don't think I'm a dick when I say I didn't quite read the whole post..

What I think is, pure compassion is ignorant and foolish. It is a great force, but without the guidance of wisdom, might end up hurting you or someone else. While compassion says: "Oh poor you, I need to help you, I feel I want to help you", wisdom is more like "I percieve an entity with difficulties, I am not responsible for this, I have no obligation to take any action at all". Wisdom is quite sterile and objective, while compassion is subjective and fuzzy. Compassion will want to throw itself over that which is percieved as in need of healing, yet Wisdom will know that the need is only a subjective observation, and is no basis for interference unless something is really asked for(nothing is really broken)

So a blend of these would be something like: "I percieve this person to have difficulties, I will offer my service, but not have any attachment to the outcome"
