  • When the strongest do have compassion, it is the greatest part of their strength.
  • "only the strongest survive" is a myth. There are plenty of species that breed via deception and the "weak" often propagate themselves. In addition, compassion and strength are not mutually exclusive traits.
  • Compassion is a part of being strong
  • No, it is not true that only the strongest survive. Those who are fittest for their environment are the ones who survive, which is the origin of the phrase 'survival of the fittest'. In a situation where food is short, the fittest can be those individuals who are small and weak. Compassion in a social animal such as man is very much a survival characteristic, because it helps the community to survive.
  • Of course not. Your premise is flawed, and your question is not supported.
  • Compassion is full of hope and love. Never weakness.
  • Not only the strongest survive. If they did, compassion wouldn't really be a weakness. Compassion helps greatly with living in groups. There is strength in numbers.
  • Absolutely NOT. This was Hitler's idea, but it is totally absurd. When considering the progress of the human race we have two options: to preserve the species, or else to preserve humanity itself; the ability to know of pain and thus act in consideration of others is what makes us human. If we lost that, we would become twisted and ugly and then the human race would have no point in surviving. We would not have reason to live, or deserve life. The species will be precious as long as we preserve what makes us human.
