The vanity of compassion, E.M.Cioran
Is this so?....well, i agree with the sentence on pity...
E.M.Cioran
from: On the heights of despair
"For I do not feel mediocre enough to feel compassion for anyone. Compassion is a sign of superficiality: broken destinies and unrelenting misery either make you scream or turn you to stone. Pity is not only inefficient; it is also insulting. And besides, how can you pity another when you yourself suffer ignominously? Compassion is as common as it is because it dos not bind you to anything! Nobody in this world has yet died from another's suffering. And the one who said that he died for us did not die; he was killed."
