ORIGINAL: mnottertail you were brutally raped in a car accident? I'm listening. LOL Society has this imagery world that it lives in where everything fits into these neat boxes. I have more to say on this point, but I have to put what I wrote in my draft box for now since it is taking me too much time to write it. Do try to forgive me for not gracing you with my wisdom. I began with an example of how insane society can be. quote:
ORIGINAL: LadyPact Sorry, folks. I've got to do it. I don't know how anyone who can start a thread that is supposed to be about compassion can possibly attempt to equate loneliness, lack of sex, or lack of love with a brutal, physically invasive attack against another human being such as rape. If they can, they had better start talking to God (if that is their belief) in a whole new way. I can't help but to think that such a parallel is ridiculously insulting, narrow minded, and self centered in such a way that I can't even comprehend. Please, OP, tell Me how much smarter you are than I for you to even conceive such a thought. If you are, you can have it. You didn't say sorry earlier or at least I don't recall you doing so. Refresh my memory if you did. Go back to post one. It is known that harm done to a person emotionally has a more profound and long lasting effect than what is done to them physically. This is true of victims of torture in times of war, for example. Don't tell me you didn't know this, high and mighty one. One of the reasons why there is such an emphasis on rape is that it involves physical violence which often implies the existence of physical evidence. It wasn't long ago when rape wasn't taken seriously by society. It is politically expedient. There are many victims in this world and many different forms of crime that get no attention at all. I am not just talking about loneliness and lack of sex though I admit it is part of it. I do not feel a need to compensate for your cynicism. Your compassion is for stereotypes. You are not compassionate in a genuine sense. Buddha would not approve of you. In my estimation he would likely say; don't mind her, she is foolish. You are not offering compassion to all sentient beings or anything even remotely approximating such feeling. In other words, your feeling is impure.
