"It was your statement: "And yes it helps us to evolve in the relative sense." that implied that you might think we do evolve in an un-relative sense otherwise why not simply state "and yes it helps us to evolve" or would that be too much of an endorsement for your comfort level?"
Again, how can evolution even occur in the un-relative? And perhaps the more interesting point is, it doesn't need to. And from this exiciting discovery of the perfection, completion, unity... compassion springs forth.
The milk of pity? How did I come up with that?...well, when you first posted about it it was in this context:
"When you have no pity, you can experience unyielding compassion in that moment." Wei
"What good is a breast that doesn't yield? When no milk flows how's the babe to grow?" Lunoor
Compassion replaces pity, because pity would only see suffering in light of inequalities, injustices, and limitations. Compassion sees from a state of equilibrium. It cares to reach out even though it knows ultimately no one needs help because ultimatly all is unbreakable, undestroyable, endless, beginningless. It helps in the relative sense but sees much farther than it, so the relative never gets a foothold.
