I think you have no understanding of what compassion is. Let me help you


compassion
kəmˈpaʃ(ə)n/
noun
noun: compassion; plural noun: compassions

sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.[size]
"the victims should be treated with compassion"
synonyms: pity, sympathy, feeling, fellow feeling, empathy, understanding, care, concern, solicitude, solicitousness, sensitivity, tender-heartedness, soft-heartedness, warm-heartedness, warmth, love, brotherly love, tenderness, gentleness, mercy, mercifulness, leniency, lenience, tolerance, consideration, kindness, humanity, humaneness, kind-heartedness, charity, benevolence

"she gazed with compassion at the two dejected figures"
antonyms: indifference, heartlessness


I hope you took note of the magnified parts.

For someone to cry for another it shows any of the magnified words in my quote. Even if you cry for an enemy it shows the same thing. You can only cry for people whom you care about even when you do not know them personally but you identify with their situation.

Go back to school and stop showing anonymous intelligence here on Nairaland.

I don't know whether you are being deliberately dishonest or you have comprehension difficulty. Where is crying in the definition of compassion you pasted above. People cry for all sorts of reasons, some cry for joy, some cry for spiritual experience, some even cry for no reason ( remind me of my 5 year old, he cries just to get attention).
The definition of compassion is;
sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. No where did it state that crying means compassion.
So explain to us the sufferings and misfortune of the OP that warrants the said Lady to be crying because of compassion.

It is not only people you care for you cry for, I have seen people cry for people they hate after they die. Go to funerals, you will even see people that hate the deceased crying louder than others.

Dishonesty here is coming from you. Did you not read where the OP said HE CALLED HIS FRIEND WHO OFTEN COUNSELS HIM? In that context are they enemies?

Her tears were for a friend she cares about and this emanated via compassion. You really need to stop being dishonest. Plus you conveniently used words that would support your argument. I on the other hand gave you a detailed definition of compassion and these are the words you conveniently left out

Now go back to the OP and read his post and get yourself updated. Dishonesty is a terrible vice for you to have.

God does not regret and he exhorted us to help one another - feed the poor , cloth to unclad etc . Instead of mocking God with a picture of those two why don't you obey his command and alleviate their indigence smiley

You mean I am supposed to clean up it's mess? undecided

I don't need you to remind me tongue

but you just have to trust

I believe this sums it up. Most of the honest and quite intellectual theists I know Gerard Schroeder, John Lennox, Abu Nazir; always state it between the lines; about the essence of trust.

Even the now "trending" topic on NL; the atheism to jesus own; made mention of him "trusting". That is; using his emotion inside of the facts he knows.


Now this is not bad in any way. Different strokes for different folks. If you feel christianity gives you happiness and answers the problems of your life; if you feel christianity gives you a nudge, a push when life gets hard; that having confidence in a deity that may or may not exist makes you happy; then


Good for you.


As long as you are able to live your life in a way that guarantees maximum happiness with no harm to anyone and to yourself, then, as the Pope once remarked



"Who am I to judge gays you"

Just don't go looking for crazy miracles tho. Experience shows you will be very disappointed.


On a side note; when you begged God to reveal himself, did he do so

U may not understand this but it's what I believe.

He did by not doing.

But like u rightly said we should do what is right by us and that doesn't affect others negatively.

Thanks for ur words.

What I've realised is that God doesn't have to prove himself to me in a physical manner, because He is not human.

But like I said I'm working on dropping some of my logic and picking up some more faith.
