You are probably the most sensationalist person I know here on Steemist. Most of what you say is downright contradictory rhetorics. Also. There is no such thing as "compassion" as I explain here.
The very way you describe compassion shows that is just filler words aimed to make someone completely politically correct. Example:
You say at the beginning,
Both online and offline, we often rely on rhetoric lined...
and then you say later on in your "steps"
Repeat emotions and thought patterns back to people so that they know you are connected with them; try to use similar words or language so they do not misunderstand.
You actively adivising people to be rhetorical and fake to each other by using common manipulative techniques like copying body language.
Hey @kyriacos, how's it going? I think you're a little mistaken there... Sterlin didn't advise people to be rhetorical - That was a description, not a prescription, and you can see that when you read the sentence in context.
Besides, "rhetoric" in the broadest sense doesn't necessarily mean being deceitful. One definition of "rhetoric" is: "the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing".
I hope that helps clarify things. Have a good one
