Nothing is more beautiful than compassion, and anyone can become more beautiful by becoming more compassionate.
There is also no higher sign of intelligence than compassion, and we can become a more inteligent species by becoming a more compassionate species.
Whenever we hear predictions about how amazing life might be in the future, it is almost always prefaced with statements like...
"As long as we don't start "World War 3 and end up blowing ourselves up and causing life as we know it to go into extinction."
So the big question is, will we be intelligent enough to look past our differences and start treating each other with more compassion?
If you doubt that humans will ever be able to put aside all their differences and peacefully co-exist, keep in mind that nobody is born prejudiced.
Also keep in mind that a lot of children already see everyone (including animals) as having the same feelings as them and as deserving to be treated with compassion.
Compassionate children will grow up to become compassionate adults if they aren't taught otherwise, and a world with more compassionate adults would be a much more beautiful world indeed.
