.!!..The Logic of Compassion.!!..

Compassion is a feeling related to human care; it is a moral feeling of great importance in human relationships. That is the reason it is very common to hear some discussions about human compassion. For exemplo: " We need to think more about the world's problems, our lack of care is the symptoms of the major humanity problems." However, the logic of compassion is not easy to understand.

The feelings of loyalty, respect, and other emotions have been generated in the course of human evolution, when society  joined to live together. It was the way to survive. The brain has learned throughout evolution to avoid conflicts of group living. These developments of the brain can help us understand the moral behavior of man.

We don't feel compassion for others when there is no correspondence to our lives. The act of compassion really to make ourselves feel better, it frees us from a feeling of pain that is our own. The problems suffered by others make us feel powerless if we don’t run to rescue the victim. Besides, we have the fear that it may also happen to us.

Compassion involves philosophical feelings of learning to care. The feelings of wanting to take care arise when we know  why it is happening. Compassion exist because we see ourselves in the situation, i.e., we identify with the other. If this identification isn't real, compassion will not exist.
