It seems to me that many answers show little or no compassion. Just wondering why that is. Enlighten me please.

Yes, that's a smart thing.

You made a very interesting point.
In my opinion if someone needs to be taught compassion it is clear that his/her worldview doesn't incorporate it already.
In such a case, we can force compassion as a concept but it will have no long term effect or impact.
In my opinion, it is up to the individual to really examine his/her worldview and confront those issues which have been suppressed. Unless the individual attains a worldview or state of being, where compassion comes naturally, we can expect the world coming to end soon.
The only worldview that might allow this, would come from an experience of oneness with everything that exists!

As you said...
..."answers show little or no compassion..."
..why would you think that you could or should find compassion in answering a question? This is a public forum for Q & A, if someone's looking for compassion here, or on a public city street corner, they're simply confused and looking in the wrong place!!

No, compassion cannot be taught. Unfortunatly, our entire Western Media system is geared towards de-humanising people.
