KoM,
thank you for an interesting topic.
Firstly i was tempted to answer: Your opening post covers the way i am nearly exact, but then i thought why bother to answer, if i only say: Yes.
After reading other replies, i renembered something somebody on here wrote in an message. He accompanied another person to a hospital specialized in oncology, and that part was further specialized into brain tumours.
And during the day they spend there, he saw an unblievable amount of people suffering, but what led to him crying, was in the end the amount of children who were visibly very ill and so near their death.
The reason i cite that?
Because i am the same as him. My compassion, my sensitivity is not limited to my family (be it blood or my choosen), my most beloved kind of dog or Celtic Glasgow, but and that made growing up a nice challlenge, to everybody. Even as a jew, i can not stop to feel the hurt, talking to a Palestinian men, who can not travel to Haifa, because the Isrealians would not allow it.
Because there is no black and white in my books. Certainly i have my topics where i feel black or white, but in reality there is not such an easy way out.
And the same goes for my hardassing self. I was or choose to be a warrior a long time ago.
Over the years i learned to control both integral parts of my being, but that learning process will never stop.
