​When dealing with the human condition, for so long now we have concentrated many efforts based on the words and collective concepts of Understanding and Compassion​...thus the current Humanitarian bombing of so many places and people we don't like. I really don't think that the words Understanding or Compassion work or mean anything as concepts at all. We don't Understand and we are not Compassionate. They are overdone and quite meaningless. I won't use either word or associated notion any more. I will instead use the words Welcome and Tenderness. Remember tenderness? Remember feeling welcome? Remember welcoming someone, and the deep human warmth in it. Remember human tenderness? I'll go with Welcome and Tenderness from now on.
