Yes compassion. Try to remember that we were one and all duped by a sophisticated worldwide attempt to subvert democracy. As brilliance once again catches us up we will put it together again. Stronger. I went to war. I want to fight the bastards with every ounce of cunning and strength in my frail old man body. When it comes time to die that is the easy part. To lay down your life heroically. No fear, no shame knowing you exercise your only option. We must walk slowly among the dead. We must walk slowly amongst those still living as well. We must find that way which preserves their lives. If we put a million men into the breach we can arrest the motion of war and the outlook of the future. No doubt. We may yet go there. We may have no choice but to go there. I trust this president. I choose to trust this American assemblage of great wisdom and experience that came out of the ether coalescing around these letters to America. In every period of The American journey we have met the resistance head on and while this one is on our watch the tide will come in once again. We have to do this. We have to calmly re-unite our fractured factions. And yes, with Joy’s compassion.
If you just substitute the word compassion for pity, I think that gives you some more room.
