i'm going to try to explain some questions from my brain to yours
do know not with a brain or thought of dictatorship of truth
to convince you or win over your brain
why do we have irrational capacity << this is good use of words, to love or feel compassion?
1.you stay, like you said, in the purly biological level
from there think and ask questions: why does this biological state
feels or has feelings tools?
think of a biological form like a fish or something
it comes out of water for example
the fish
feels a hard surface and devellopes a hardskin to survive on land
feelings are created from evolutionairy constructions for the purpose of improving evolution
compassion is a reaction from an automatic-mirroring-feelings-from a same specie for your brain to understand what is going on
someone is on the ground dieing of hunger and has pain
in my mind i can sort of mirror the situations
and after that see what i can do
having this reaction is not going to help the same specie in pain
my capeability to help in real actions could help
it's sort of something like that
i hope i could explain it a bit from that kinda vieuw
feelings are an evolutionairy tool
why doesn't an ape go to sleep on broken glass, feels not good
(or why did sapians never made beds from catus )
why does an ape sleep on somethings soft, feels good
why do i not feel attracted to a misformed chernobil girl?
why do i feel attracted to a beautifull body?
again
from a purely biological level
it's because of symetry of the other person
the design of DNA
why symetry?
look again in the microscope
what do you see?
cel division = symetry
DNA looks for other DNA to make the next evolution
the next DNA (baby) is a better DNA designed for survival
not for selfdestruction
