   Nonduality may give rise to compassion, I agree.   
      
   I suppose it could give rise to cruelty   
   if one didn't mind hurting one's self.   
      
   A nondual sado-masochist could be related   
   to a nondual compassionate individual,   
   assuming there are individuals   
   existing in nondual states.   
      
   In a complete and total nondual state   
   one would be unaware of being in it.   
   And, hence, would not speak of it.   
      
   Those who know of it   
   and don't speak of it   
   are not quite in it   
   to a complete   
   and total point.   
      
   Maybe ultrasensitive cruel cutters cut   
   as a means to relieve their own pain,   
   to gain more of their own nonduality.   
      
   Tis a strange world.   
   Not-two say the least.
