Why or why not?

This question is superfluous and highly subjective to point of view.

How about reality instead of loaded questions.

How about OUR species has always displayed BOTH acts of compassion and cruelty. 

I love my species POTENTIAL to be compassionate and display empathy, but our collective history also shows that we are in competition with each other and we get violent as groups with each other. 

I am sure Mystic thinks he's got the right morality, I am sure you think you've got the right morality. The problem with human's perceptions is that we can think we are on the right side, but we can be dead wrong at the same time because our species perceptions of reality are notoriously flawed.

You can only say that individuals show compassion and empathy and others don't so much.
