Hardcore Buffy Watching
Hmm.. Maybe I should reconsider that title. But it’s making me laugh, and reminds me of some of the humor in season 7. Today we watched the first 15 of 22 episodes of Buffy Season 7 at Lesley’s.
It was good. I’m feeling a bit tired now though. I am also left with some serious contemplative thoughts from my walk home:
Love covers a multitude of sins.
For some reason this quote really appeals to me and seems to be very true.
Mercy is important. But what about pity?
I do think that being merciful is important, and that the bible is pretty clear on it. I’d be pretty damn messed up without it.
I’m trying to decide if pity is a good thing or whether it is always just condeceding. Is pity just the co-out for those unwilling/unable to feel genuine compassion?
I have lots more to write but I might save it for a slow day at work.

Why is your blog so broken? You have to scroll down so far, and I keep thinking it’s not there? How sad.
And I do like this category of “pretenious drivel”. It made me giggle evr so much to myself.
How would you define pity exactly?

It’s broken in IE. I’ve got to fix the template.
I am glad to hear that my new category is getting some giggles.
I think pity is feeling sorry for people.

How would you describe feeling pain for people? I don’t know that being sorry for people is inherintly useful, but suffering with people and feeling pain with people might be.
Stupid IE, that’s the only internet browser the laptop in our house has.

That was Jem, not Ryan.

I’d say that when you feel pain for people it moves beyond pity into empathy.
