Learning compassion for yourself and others is a way to survive all this

In ancient times when marauding hordes on horseback wiped out whole villages and cities always there were a few philosophers and mystics who escaped to the hills to develop their teaching methods to help save people who somehow escaped the rape and pillage and slaughter. Knowing when to fight and knowing when to run was important because if you did the wrong thing way back when you and everyone you knew died needlessly.

So, unless some people find ways to survive all this somehow then no one will be left when it all goes wrong one day.

I think learning compassion for yourself and others clears your head of hatred and fear and allows you to be level headed to know what to do when the time comes.

So, when things get serious you will just know where you need to be to save not only yourself but as many people as you can.
