Throughout the ages of planetary evolution many different humanist philosophies have developed, as well as many organized religious traditions. Most all of them have emphasized the positive traits of human [[Compassion]] as a virtue to strive for in daily life. When we think about the meaning of the word “compassion” in our society we generally think of a human characteristic that has a moral or ethical judgment cast upon our perception of it. This judgment is stemming from our mental body [[Negative Ego]] which then seeks to define what we as human beings believe is “good or bad”. Anytime we use the [[Ego Filters]] to shape our fixed belief system and its inner dialogue, we get judgment. Our judgment then assigns a value to our perception of events. | Throughout the ages of planetary evolution many different humanist philosophies have developed, as well as many organized religious traditions.
