> A person, or a whole species, can care about the suffering of others without having the ability to do anything about it,
if they could care in a meaningful way they could change at least their individual behavior, form their own pack, under different rules.
it never happened.
but the most important point is: if we are not great of a species because we don't care about fellow humans and other living beings suffering, every other species is worse than us on that matter, hence we might be not great, but are still the best of the bunch.
we are still the only species that does it in a way that has an actual impact and produces a change over time.
