In my opinion, compassion is a feeling of sympathy for the suffering of others.
I think some people confuse compassion with CHARITY. Charity is when something is given to help the needy. A person can have true compassion but not be in a position to offer charity to another person. Just because a person chooses, for whatever reason, not to give money does not mean that he or she is not compassionate or sympathetic.

In your opinion, how can having compassion destroy a people? I think compassion can be self-destructive. If a person falls for every sob story he or she hears, and then acts on those sob stories, he or she may find themselves ass out and flat broke.

Germany was COMPASSIONATE, about exterminating the JEWS!!!! Hesbollah, is also, compassionate about it too!!! So where some whites, about us!!! Compassion, can run the whole gamut of emotions. like the Illegal situation, in this country!!!!!!!!!!. So this was no attack on Olam, to which i fill you where referring too, it was about a word!!! olam knows how i feel about any situation, he has let me know about, and i will and always will let people know where i stand, on a situation, PERIOD. i do not kick people when they are DOWN, msblaque, be it perceived, or real!!!. thats just me.

Hold up Dolphinfan, first of all, I don't play word games. If I had something to say about Olamilove, I would say it directly to him. I have never heard the word compassion used in a negative way before and just wanted you to elaborate. I let Ola know how I felt about that PRIVATE situation and I wasn't trying to make it public,

D'phan and Blaque made the post to be more interesting to me.All the same,there are times I make post without consulting any book or asking anybody. To me compassion can be married with pity,charity,commendation,recommendation etc. It depends on the angle one look at it.
