Do you understand me Snaut?

"...You know,
whenever we show compassion,
we ravage ourselves.
Maybe it's true...
Suffering makes life seem
dismal and suspect.
But I won't accept that.
No, I won't accept that.
Is that which is indispensable to life
also harmful to it?
No, it's not harmful.
Of course it's not harmful.
Remember Tolstoy?
His suffering over the impossibility
of loving mankind as a whole?
How much time has passed since then?
Somehow I can't figure it out.
Help me.
See, I love you.
But love is a feeling
we can experience
but never explain.
One can explain the concept.
You love that which you can lose:
Yourself, a woman, a homeland.
Until today, love was simply
unattainable to mankind, to the Earth.
(...)
There are so few of us.
A few billion altogether. A handful!
Maybe we're here in order
to see humanity
as a reason for love..."
