    A starving man will starve despite being offered compassion.
    A man beaten to death would need action in his defense and not compassion.

    When I look at the situation at hand, I in a way doubt that compassion is what is needed.
    I wonder if striving for compassion is not more of a way to avoid really looking what the situation shows us and avoiding what it actually triggers in ourselves.

    According to the refined tastes of some Christian mystics, compassion is a cheaper and cruder substitute for love. Like a close derivative of love, which remains more narrow and distorted in its focus. By contrast, the love aimed for in positive development is connected to a fuller consciousness at the emotional level: the positive being there through a fuller "knowing", instead of a narrow attitude.

    (In relation to this, while compassion is in part described as positive, it is also described as one of the most subtle forms in which temptation can appear as a spiritual "testing".)
