Warriors are incapable of feeling compassion because they no longer feel sorry for themselves. Without the driving force of self-pity, compassion is meaningless.
In Carlos Castaneda's "Power of Silence," the author explores the complex emotions that differentiate warriors from others. He suggests that true warriors have transcended self-pity, which allows them to live with strength and purpose. By letting go of this self-absorbed feeling, they free themselves from emotional burdens that typically hinder compassion.
Castaneda argues that compassion, devoid of self-pity, becomes a more authentic and powerful emotion. For warriors, empathy is not rooted in personal sorrow but instead stems from a deeper understanding of life's struggles. This shift in perspective transforms their interactions with others, emphasizing selflessness over personal grievances.
