con·tempt (kn-tmpt)
1. The feeling or attitude of regarding someone or something as inferior, base or worthless; scorn. 2. The state of being despised or dishonored; disgrace. 3. Open disrespect or willful disobedience of the authority of a court of law or legislative body. Contempt is a secondary emotion (not among the original six emotions) and is a mix of the primary emotions disgust and anger. The word originated in 1393, from the Latin word contemptus meaning "scorn." welcome Lunadia my personal answer to your question here is probably 'yes'. in my opinion, it is important to remove any 'anger', 'hate' & 'loathing' from our mind however, imo, we do not remove the perceptions of 'harm', 'unskilfulness' & 'unknowing ignorance' from those actions if another human being is not doing something harmful, unskilful & ignorant, then what basis do we have to develop compassion? the person acting under the power of ignorance is the condition for us to develop compassion towards them kind regards element *** |
