I do not have any compassion because I'm totally emotionally desensitised to the whole concept of it. This also pretty much reflects the way the world is as a whole.
My family knows better than to re-hash news stories, even though they still try and elicit some kind of emotional response from me.
"Oh wow, this crazy dude just killed 59 people in Las Vegas...ISIS is claiming responsibility...isn't that terrible?...it's awful!...poor people!...etc"
I'm like "yawn...again?...who cares?...give a crazy dude a gun and yeah, he's gonna shoot people...and ISIS will claim anything that suits their warped publicity agenda...what I don't get is how he managed to stockpile 29 rifles in one location without even being noticed..."
So that's me and my 'compassion' I just go "their karma, not mine...not my circus, not my monkeys...yada..."
