[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is my opinion that more spiritually advanced people will have sympathy for everyone. Even murderers. People less evolved will not understand this. The best way to describe it would be, what if it was your brother who did this crime? You would have sympathy then...but when you don't know them you don't care. I have sympathy for everyone because to me no one is unvaluable or unworthy of love and compassion. No one!! I have felt this way since I was a young kid.[/quote]

I think this captures the crux of the issue.  Those who publicly preen about their sympathy for the killers are merely attempting to demonstrate their own "spiritually advanced" nature and their superiority to those "less evolved" souls who reserve their sympathies for those who, you know, got blown up.  Engaging in this sort of status competition with such people is like wrestling with a pig in mud; you both get dirty, and the pig enjoys it.  I believe there is a vanishingly small probability of meaningful discourse with anyone who non-ironically refers to themselves as "spiritually advanced" on these sorts of issues.

Publicly preen?  A question was asked and I answered. I don't bring this up for discussion IRL. [/quote]
