The Anatomy of Emotion
Some of those who suggest that there is such a thing, call it unconditional love. Others call it Love (with a capital L). I will do that, on the few occasions on which I refer to the idea at all (in this book). Sometimes, it is given a completely new name; or perhaps a name borrowed from another language. In those cases, though it may not always be understood, it will at least not be confused with other things referred to as “love”.
It may be a simple enough concept, but it is certainly not easy to capture it in words. Fortunately, all I really need to say about Love in this book is that, if it exists, it does so outside the definition of propathy. It could not possibly have anything to do with propathy, because propathy is a result – it always depends on something – it is always conditional. Therefore Love, which is not conditional, cannot be part of propathy.
So much for whatever that last thing was – or wasn’t. There are three more things that I want to exclude, and they have so much in common that I think of them as variations on a single theme. They are sympathy, empathy and compassion. I have nothing against any of them – rather the opposite – which immediately raises the suspicion that they should not be limited to the conditional umbrella of propathy – or allowed in at all.
Much is sometimes made of the distinctions between these three words – but mostly by psychologists and counsellors, rather than dictionaries. Dictionaries seem to think the three terms are very close in meaning, and so do I – because their definitions overlap far more than they differ.
The common meaning that they share is understanding and sharing the feelings of another person – especially one suffering from misfortune – combined with an urge to help if possible. That’s simple enough. What about the differences?
Well, perhaps sympathy emphasises the misfortune element, and may sometimes include a touch of schadenfreude. Perhaps compassion emphasises the helping element, and may sometimes include a touch of holiness. And perhaps empathy is too well trained to emphasise anything, and may sometimes include a touch of distance.
But in essence, these three words do approximately the same job. Sometimes, they are given particular meanings by particular authors. As long as they explain what they mean, I guess that’s OK. But in general, I feel sure they are just different expressions of the same – well, the same something.
And what something is that? I don’t really know, but those three words do have an irritating habit of not requiring adequate recompense. At the very least, this makes them guilty of consorting with Love – a capital crime in the Wanterfall jurisdiction, where conditionality rules without question.
Our hearts, our minds, our doors are always open for that

Sometime, we forget that we are not programmed devices. We are humans, machines and technologies that we have created to simplify our life, but we live as if the technology we’re using both hands.
