If there's anything I have learned or like to think I have learned, it's about what I think compassion is, but yet again I am confronted with the absurdity of this world and it's paradoxes and things that seem counter intuitive.
For example the paradox of tolerance...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
I think the idea that love is another, where in people will do the opposite (hate) in order to defend love.
So if I'm willing to defend what I love, does that not mean I need to get rid of what it opposes? How do I do this? What does this entail? What are the consequences, good or bad? Where does compassion fall in this notion or scenario? Again, nothing is the same across the board, I can't equally apply a belief to everything at once, all the same, all the time.
So once again we are at this dilemma of sorts, everything must exist that exists and according to the measure that it does. This is the conundrum that we face daily or at least when those situations arise that we are confronted in which we must make what seems a contradictory choice.

I feel like I need to find something more of a foundation.. but I feel conflicted in my knowledge that change is a constant. How can one have a foundation if what we believe is always in question, especially those things that we look to in order to form a "solid foundation" based on logic and reason, tempered with emotion looking at one's humanity and understanding that we a social structure to function and survive and thrive.

Discourse is the only means of being able to communicate with one another. Assuming one person knows things that you know is not realistic. Spam will be deleted, fallacious messages will be pointed out as such, and educating the reader is not the objective.
