***Do you think that there are many, if any, people who have never ever known true love or true compassion for another human being?***

If we are talking about love that eminates from God, yes, there are many who have mever felt true love or compassion.

Most have felt the natural love that a mother has for her child, but is that any more than the love that a beast has for it’s young?

Excluding mothers.

Just true compassion, literally ‘to suffer with’, to feel anothers suffering as their own. To hurt because another hurts.
