As I have said before, this gargoyle nonsense is just bad Nietszche -- "pity for people is for weaklings and will undermine and infect our moral fibre: what is required is the Superman who is above all this whining: we must be hard". It is totally pathetic, a sort of world view an insecure 12 year old would espouse, not to mention failed Austrian painters after World War One. It is worth paying attention to, just to constantly remind us of what pure anti-compassion looks like, how enraged it becomes at the slightest sign of love, how it tries to provoke the very anger it has in its own heart, so as to prove that the world is a violent, vicious place, so its darkest fears will be proved right after all. While it is disgusting to watch it in action, we need to see it every once in awhile, just to ensure that it never gets any power over us again.

There was no agreement to keep healing circles private: I did not speak for anyone else here, but I refused to keep my expressions of compassion and hope out of here. Everyone else's expressions speak the same determination. In the immortal words of Sorcha, go suck a rock. If you can't stand the compassion, get out of the kitchen.
yours, Peter T.
