A few days ago it was my privilege to work on my fixed emotions of sympathy. After I processed that the malnourished kitten I see out my window no longer elicits the knee jerk emotion of sympathy. How about compassion? Yes, I think that's what it is and for the first time I started leaving out food scraps and taking more of a real interest in it. Sympathy was just too ineffectual, although quite socially acceptable.

cheers!
