Compassion without priority is worthless, since it cannot be acted upon effectively.
Do you understand what I am saying?
If you where to see with eye wide open, and truly know all of the tragedies that happens daily in the world, you could not function!

Priority withOUT logic is also worthless.

That may apply to your chosenly crippled state of philosophy, but does not apply to most of us.

Yes, I do understand. You don't know what compassion is or how to act on it.

It has long been a daily practice to open my heart to that and it has increased my capacity to function enormously. Sentient beings throughout space vastly outnumber humans and animals and so does their suffering.

On a lighter note, those pinged who have been most active on this thread may enjoy this classic meltdown from Casey Casem, longtime host of the ``American Top 40'' countdown program. It is real and be advised that the language is very colorful.

And, yes, it is related to pets.

Priority is a concept, a label created by the human mind. A cat been nailed to a post does not understand this thing which we have labeled priority.

Compassion starts right here, this very moment with any creature.
