COMPASSION

Compassion is the poison of our society. Poverty Feeds on compassion. We say "aww, i feel so sorry for this guy", and shell out some coins to give to the "poor" guy. But stop. And think. Are we doing it for him? No. Its just a selfish move... we are all buying our way to heaven. We, sick, selfish people are trying to buy our way to heaven... screwing up an already screwed up life. Unfeelingy feeling, passionately dispassionate, dying everyday so that that we may live in peace once we die. Compassion is the poison of our society... the most potent one. It kills both the person showing it, and the one who receives it. Painfully. Slowly. Painfully Slowly.
I am not against the showing of compassion. But to the rightful recipients. A child, maybe. Somehow, the concept of compassion got warped, misinterpreted. U think a blind man should receive alms as tokens of our compassion? I saw one who used to sell peanuts in trains. Just one. Why cant the others? As long as we go on showing "compassion" towards those who dont, they wont. True compassion is when, no matter how much you feel the urge to reach into your pocket and give the "poor guy" some alms, you hold back. So that he tries. To earn what he used to get as alms. Theres nothing called a free lunch. If we want to change the way our society is, to make this world a better place, we have to change ourselves. And then, little by little, this bleak present painting will fade into a vivid, colorful landscape.
