    We didn’t build compassion though suffering

    Speak for yourself.

    1 - Try being homeless for awhile, if you crawl your way back out of that
    and you treat homeless people like shit afterwards then you’re just an asshole.

    2 - Try hiking the entire Appalachian Trail - everyone is struggling and yet the majority
    of other hikers share food and supplies and help boost morale and the people
    in trail towns are generous and not assholes because they know what you are doing is
    difficult.

    3 - Try being in the military and being the lowest rank E-1 - there is comradery there amongst
    the low rank enlisted. Everyone is suffering and yet regardless of race, class, religion, beliefs, everyone
    has a “we’re all in this together” attitude and it’s easy to make friends if you wish.

    4 - Finally, ask anyone who has ever worked in retail how they view retail workers now.

    Assholes are just assholes. They stick out in society so it makes it seem like they are the majority.
