| The compassion
of sense
(1) is between
equals or
fellow-sufferers.
(2) is shown
towards a
person in distress
by one
who is free
from it, who is,
in this respect,
his superior. Passion is an affection, effect,
or impression
produced by
action from without,
by external agency;
a passive quality,
property, or attribute
(Oxford English
Dictionary, 2004).
For us to get the science we need, independent research that
does not ignore or trivialize cultural and social variables must
continue.
