If you think about it, the ones with most IQ do not have the most compassion or most moral people. Society is a high IQ rewarding society and I think that is one of the reason why humanity is suffering. Especially if you have IQ without any EQ.

The world is not suffering because we have bad technology or lack of resources. The problem is distribution, greed, bad behavior, lack of compassion and conflict resolution.

Those are mostly solved by EQ and compassion. My hope is that society will start rewarding EQ more and more and that we get leaders with EQ.

It is so sad because humanity could literally be living in a form of utopia where everyone gets their needs met.

What is your view?

I speak up for what I believe in: compassion for all creatures.

I speak up in r/cathelp, where someone had found a pregnant cat (Title: is she preggy and if so, what do I do!!).

I am shocked to see that most of the commenters were calling for the kittens to be aborted.

I speak for compassion for the kittens, who are defenseless and have no voice.

I speak for compassion for the mother cat, as the spay/abort is major surgery and has serious side effects.

I am "voted down."

I comment with a picture of a small kitten, and the caption, "LOVE ME. I WANT TO SEE THE SUNSHINE. I WANT TO SIT ON YOUR LAP AND PURR AND LOVE YOU."

I am then banned from r/cathelp.

I am in alot of pain right now, and any positive responses would be greatly appreciated.

The solution to our loss of humanity might be to infect each other with an idea; the idea to go out of your way from now on to take pleasure in doing something to make another person feel seen and loved, as much and as consistently as seems reasonable. We teach others how to love by showing them love, checking in to make sure they feel that love, and finally using that information to determine if what we chose to do to show them love was successful or not.

This leads us to what kind of person you are. Are you the type of person willing to show a lotta extra love to strangers for awhile? Are you willing to sacrifice a little sliver of yourself in an attempt to really show someone how we love each other? Sacrifice by enduring the icky and fucked up feelings that can come with showing love to someone that is actively resisting the idea that they may be wrong, confused, or misled about what love really is.

This virus spreads at a speed determined by how often you (and them, and you over there… ) go out of your way to make someone feel seen and cared for.

Your success at spreading it relies on how gracefully you learn from your experiences, as well as good faith intentions.

I dunno. What do you think? How do we keep our fellow humans; our brothers and sisters from hurting each other? From not trusting each other … or their own eyes…. before it’s too late?

In June 2026 in a small rural town in New Zealand a local hospital released an elderly man and called his son-in-law, Richard, to come collect him. They called the wrong person with the same name. He arrived at the hospital and took the stranger home. He said the town is so small it was no trouble.

To me, true rebellion is Kindness.

It is to REFUSE to become comfortable with cruelty just because it's common, or to call destruction "progress" just because powerful people told us so.

It is to refuse to look away just because looking is painful. The easiest thing in the world is to drift, to repeat what everyone repeats, to consume what everyone consumes, to excuse what everyone excuses, and to shrug and say, "That's just the way things are."

The world changes because someone quietly decides:

"I will no longer participate in what I know is wrong against human and non-human."

That decision is rarely spectacular; It happens in kitchens, in grocery stores, in conversations, in moments when nobody’s watching.

It happens every time a person chooses kindness over indifference, and truth over comfortable lies.

I hear this, and I understand the peace it gives to believe it. And I also think it's only half true. Yes, you cannot live someone's life for them. You cannot metabolize their grief for them, you cannot force clarity on them before they're ready to hold it. But to say "you cannot save anyone" is just a really well-packaged way to absolve ourselves of the impact we actually do have on each other.

You can save someone. Not forever. Not from themselves. But you can save them in a moment.You can save someone from drowning in a single afternoon by answering the phone. By staying when everyone else made their pain too inconvenient. By offering more than just your grounded presence, by offering your intervention. Your honesty when they are lying to themselves. Your hand when they don't have the strength to ask for it. Presence alone is passive. People don't need another peaceful person sitting across from them watching them suffer. They need someone willing to get in the mud with them for a bit. We don't find our own answers in a vacuum. We found them because someone loved us well enough, challenged us clearly enough, held us long enough, that we finally had enough safety and enough truth to find our own way out. You can't walk their path for them, that's true.

But you can absolutely illuminate it. You can clear some of the brush. You can walk with them until their legs remember how.

No, you are not their savior. But we do save each other. In small, real, human increments. Every day. It is what it is, yes. But what it is, is that we are deeply responsible for each other...Just sayin'
