Why don't you define and give an example of compassion/sympathy in real life, then.
because you said feeling bad for a person and trying to alleviate the problem, and that is basically what i thought of :O
being a good person and sympathy/compassion aren't the same i guess or SOMETHING.
When they helped the victims of hurricane Katrina, didn't they "Care that people were hurt" and then try to "Do something about it?" Yes.
Isn't trying to improve society basically "Caring that people get hurt" by society and then "Trying to do something about it?" Yes.
i think you're splitting hairs and that you're retarded.
