BB_snickers: It's human nature to internalize and then externalize one's relations with other people. Afterall , everything happens in your head really. Since this is a dating site, let's focus on how one does this with their gender preferred relations.
Humans (and I would suggest most if not all) are given to any number of socially stigmatized behaviors from jealousy to lying, from control to manipulation and many other frowned upon but humanly innate manifestations.
I also think that humans are inclined to believe or at least act in ways that we tend to shun and eschew these behaviors to the point of accusing others, punishing others, and in doing so hope to reach some sort of perfection??
Do you think our expectations of others are too lofty, even insane given how pervasively human it is to show imperfection, or is that too innately human and what function do these expectations serve in bettering humanity?
Perfection seems impossible, (for most of us ) so ...Is there a better resolution to our human foibles in compassion first, or would that too, be too lofty of an expectation for us in relating to our gender preferred partners.
Do we continue to battle against ourselves as humans vs human or is there a better way?

well you could summarize his novel to a basic question ,which was given at the end of the OP "Do we continue to battle against ourselves as humans vs human or is there a better way?"
and in my opinion " yes" was the best answer...

Yes, there is a battle inside ourselves.
Yes, there is a better way.
And what that way would be?
Not battling?

A battle within that becomes the external battle with others.
Boban usually has a better way.

BB_snickers: How did I know you'd be on the side of self first EW?
I think that work starts with self. Change self = different interaction with others. Change self = different actions/reactions to/from others.
BB_snickers: Do you think it posible to get everyone in lock step with you - or just those important to you - or does it matter to you either way?
I don´t understand your question BB. Would you clarify please.

I agree, assuming we're on the same page as far as compassion self directed, results in those different and perhaps better reactions, though not always.
Regardless of other's reactions, It still remains important to self to remain in that state of mind yes?EagleWoman:

Under the assumption that your methodology works, (and I don't disagree) do you think that this can change others around you enough to get them 'behaving' in more compassionate ways. Would that be important to you, especially with a partner but on a larger scale as well.
