The Importance of Compassion in the Bible

I'm really quite struck with how evil people can be, and I don't know what it must be like if you can't use the word evil. Whereas I feel like I can, because I believe in the divine. It's so interesting to see ourselves as just another species on the planet that behaves in many ways the way less intelligent than we do. And then this type of survival of the fittest was inherently cruel. You could take this sort of Darwinian point of view and say that's how we survive.
