Are we REALLY less compassionate? (Vanity)
me

Posted on 12/31/2017 7:41:41 PM PST by hoagy62

I have a question.

Tonight, on the New Year's Eve Times Square webcast, I have been seeing person after person saying that their wish for the new year is that our country would have more compassion.

I don't know about you, but I don't think that we've lost any of our compassion. Why do you think THEY think that compassion is lost?

Liberals have no compassion. They have sentimentality, but compassion takes actually thinking of others instead of oneself.

We can always be more compassionate.

Realize that “more compassion” when translated from moonbat-speak means “confiscate more of the money you earn and redistribute it to those that don’t” and all will become clear.

“compassion” might be there new word they’re going to change this year. They change the meaning of a word every year. Last year was “gender”

To leftists, compassion is taking your money, and giving a man a fish to eat. To Conservatives, compassion is teaching the man to fish so he can eat for a lifetime on his own dime.

Only the gov’t has compassion. Conservatives are evil for questioning all the welfare bennies.

Conservatives believe that striving for rising tides raising ALL boats is the way, while liberals believe only their boats deserve rising because old evil white guys.

In some ways, yes.

I would like some compassion and tolerance for my ability to make a living without having to worship before the pervert altar.

They have no idea what they are talking about.

If they want more compassion set an example.

Compassion isn’t about taking from someone to give to others it is about giving of your own means yourself. That is not always money.

Opening the borders to anyone is for chowder heads. Just another form of stupid loser.

Compassion, in this case, is a code word for redistribution.

Direct answer to Why do you think they believe we are not compassionate anymore?

I have not got a clue because I can’t possibly get into their muddled brains. Thank God!

Brain dead liberals are always whining about lack of compassion when confronted by truth. Lots of truth since DJT was elected, thus lots of runny nosed whiners.

They think compassion == liberal policies, because they’re stupid. In fact those things are opposites.

Narcissists and enablers view the compassion in others as a weakness in which they seek to take manipulate to get their own way.

This eventually creates compassion fatigue or a resistance to being manipulated by others. An adult person grows to a higher level of compassion where they confront the manipulator with Love rather than anger.

Political correctness is just a simple tool used to solicit compassion from others in order to manipulate them.

Just as a two year old throws a temper tantrum to manipulate us, their parent into accommodating their whims, narcissists will throw a temper tantrum to manipulate us to accommodating them.

A healthy parent, or person who understands the process and does not give in, will facilitate the two year old in learning to deal with disappointment, a stage necessary in the development of the human soul.

We guide them through the stage by facilitating disappointment rather than accommodating and enabling unhealthy behavior.

My ex-wife left me after she said, “You became teflon coated when it comes to guilt.” She couldn’t manipulate me any more!!! Snowflakes have found out the same thing.
