I don't believe in 'The Gospel According to don Juan'. Pity is just fineas long as it automatically leads to actions of sympathy and/or compassion.
I believe one should, generally, treat all of life as a gesture to The Spirit
demonstrating how one wishes to be treated by The Spirit.
When I sometimes give a 20 dollar bill to a homeless person
I do so as a gesture to The Spirit; with tremendous gratitude
that I am not homeless and can afford to be generous with the less fortunate.
For a warrior, gestures of compassion are NOT done for the sake of the other person.
They are done as a demonstration to The Spirit of how we want to be treated.
The good we do tends to come back around eventually.
So does the bad, for that matter.
It's just when one sits around idly pitying oneself and humanity
that pity become energetically toxic.
I'll openly admit that I had to stop watching the daily news reports.
It seems the mainstream media DELIBERATELY wants us to pity others!
That's why they tend to report such pitiful stories!
I rarely watch the news anymore and when I finally do what do I see?
Different variations of the same old ****!
PEOPLE NEVER SEEM TO LEARN!!!!
They don't give a damn about me and my problems and guess what?
The feeling is now casually mutual. I'd say that's fair enough.
It keeps me out of depression so it works for me!
