People just don't get it. It's not what you do but who you realy are.

Compassion seems to have gone out the window along with Caring and Courtesy. Humanity shows signs of a "Me-first" complex. Just take a look around and one can see that the seeds of greed and gluttony have blossomed wildly.

If compassion emanates from you then you will see compassion all around you. What you are really asking is why don't I (you) feel compassion anymore. Your response to this question will be your answer.

compassion was some how rooted in religion (fear of accountability in the after life) and family values. as both these institutions are on a decline, religion because of progress in sceince and belief in evolutionism, family because of switch from agricultural to industrial economy, so we are in an inter-regnum phase. there is a need to redefine values on the basis of truth and accountability in this world.

Most don't even know who they really are -- let alone care about it. Most are walking zombies. Those who was once hurt, turned hard and cold to protect themselves. Only the young and naive care enough to try changing the world for the better -- for their ideals.
