But compassion has within it the recognition that objectivity matters - the recognition that life cannot just be about us and our feels and wants and desires and jouissance. <br /><br />As long as there is compassion, there is hope, and there is an objectivity that speaks against the oppressive objectification of life as stock that you described in an earlier post. <br /><br />Not sure about the creaking of the ice. Need someone to explain that. It is an interesting sound, but can't see it as being a reason to be hopeful.

Too few have clear objective, and the goal of too many is too small to encourage others to share.
