FIERCE COMPASSION
The true nature of empathy, atonement, and kindness are not always meant to be passive, yielding, peaceful and sweet.
At times they will take on wrathful forms, reckless words, hard hitting truths but if sincere they always remain grounded in love.
Authentic compassion is not always soft, surrendering or simple. It has a fierce and fiery side to it that comes from the flame of the heart …which is fire, not water.
We mistake kindness for weakness. We think love pain free and shadow less. We think the light is the only way and so we stumble and get lost when darkness falls.
We are misaligned with the experiences of our emotions. We misunderstand its language and miss it’s clues. We learn to deny and regret them, push them down and refuse them. When this happens we overtax and bombard the mind by forcing it to hold what the heart needs to let go of and express!

- Heart is Sincerity
- Dirkdestroys sincerity
- == irony
- dandelionProphet: oh god youre right
- BlastYoBoots: AND destroys with sincerity
- dandelionProphet: hes weirdly like one of the most sincere characters in homestuck
- despite being such a prince about stuff
- BlastYoBoots: his sincerity/insincerity duality was always amazingly done and evident
- and I always could explain how that was Heart aspect related
- but I didn’t put it together that it was LITERALLY that SIMPLE, fuck
I’ll add this to the Aspect Duality post because I’m a moron and it took me this many years apparently.
