Buddhist View on the World
Buddhist compassion or aspiration arises with the realization of suffering and interconnectedness or oneness of life.
Life is a ever-changing form of suchness. Thus, when one tries to save their friend, he or she realizes there is no one-self that can be saved unless it is seen and addressed as a part of whole both within the realm you can see and deal with mindfully and beyond such realm where there is an ever-extending interconnectedness of phenomena.
You do your best and deal with the situation while being fully aware of the realm of the unknown causality.
Your mind is a formation of the world while this world is merely a formation of your mind.
With a holistic open mind embracing the unknown with keen awareness with curiosity full of wonder and joy.
There is no me or them. There is only suchness.
We become suchness. Thus there is no differentiation between what's done, or who has done it, or who was affected.
We are so and so. That's all.
