If I were to speak of two qualities that are why civilization has succeeded as well as it has the two qualities have to be compassion and truth. These two qualities are why we have civilization today.
Compassion comes first because without compassion truth has no meaning at all. Without compassion truth might as well not even exist. However, once there is compassion then truth begins to become useful as long as we can agree on what truth is. If we can't agree on truth we must then move back upon compassion and through this compassion discuss what truths we Can agree on. For all civilization is based upon this. Without compassion there would only be war and violence. And where people lack compassion and kindness for each other war exists all the time. Sometimes this is caused by a lack of resources or by the misappropriation of resources but in the end it always goes back to compassion towards oneself and all beings around oneself and feelings of compassion for all life in the universe.
If we can find ways to forgive ourselves then we can find ways to forgive others. This is the pathway towards infinite compassion for self and ALL others. Through this pathway we all find redemption.
