<DIV>I've been contemplating what it means to live in Oneness, in the
UNI-verse, especially since reading <STRONG><EM>Power vs. Force
</EM></STRONG>David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. He says there is no opposite of
Love. There is Love and the absence of Love. So
care-less-ness, obliviousness, unconsciousness, numbness, ignorance are
all manifestations of the absence of compassion. In a way, it's a word
game, but I find it helpful. Hope you do. </DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>Of course you are correct about care. Ever since I saw
Thomas Merton's quote, "Compassion is the keen awareness of the
interdependence of all living things," I've tried to articulate for
myself what would be the opposite of compassion as arrogance is of
humility and greed is of gratitude. I've thought of obliviousness,
unconsciousness, numbness, ignorance? My using
care-less-ness was really a take off on what John McKnight describes in
his book <EM>The Careless Society. </EM>None of these completely
does it for me, so give me some help here. What would be the
opposite, or antithesis, of compassion? Would appreciate your
insight. Anyone else care to jump in on this?</SPAN></DIV>
