    Okay, that’s not really compassion. People don’t need to deserve or earn compassion. Having compassion for someone doesn’t mean that you approve of their actions. I don’t think you actually understand what is being said. Your response didn’t really engage with anything I actually said; you’re just restating your same initial feelings, as though trying not to acknowledge what you were responding to. This is exactly the failure to process that I was alluding to. You just turn off part of your brain when it’s desirable not to understand something.
