So, which odds would you choose?

Compassion: Positive result 70% of the time.
Resentment: Failure result 100% of the time.

Neither, I approach most situations with indifference. Too be honest, I lack both compassion and resentment. They both require a level of investment that I'm usually unable to attain or maintain as the case may be.

I f that is so, I am surprised that you bothered to write anything here.

@Jolanta Nothing better to do at the time. I’ll comment if the question strikes my interest in the moment.

@PhoebeCat You could have scratched your bottom.

I am sorry I do not understand whatsoever please explain ?

Ok, I shall try. Would you choose to be compassionate towards people and get a 70% positive result or would you choose to put them down and achieve a 100% negative result.

@Jolanta neither....compassion is shared feeling I am 100% positive in my choices to communicate with all of them....if they choose to change their minds that does not negate my choice.....RESENTMENT is an individual feeling that may or may not have anything to do with compassion with people.....I guess your "odds" are a self fulfilling prophecy that you ask me to choose....and I have declined by definition and assessing my past history with others....given that over 70% of USA is religious I doubt "results" will be that positive for us Atheists as you predict

@Jolanta thank you for the reply...I appreciate your guarded optimism and the resentment choice seems to resemble Ebenezer Scrooge at this time of year
