Love...or Compassion?

[Wanderling]

Well said, Zenit.

In my mind, love and compassion are inseparable. If I love someone, I have compassion for them and do indeed suffer their wounds with them. And of course in the reverse, when I feel compassion for someone, I love them as well, really and truly. It isn't always safe or comfortable, but that's how love and compassion go, sometimes. The distinction between the two is something very subtle, I think, but I do believe they go hand in hand.

Yes, all my sentiments exactly!
