I regret (sincerely) that I see evolution as 100% cold, nasty and ruthless and compassion as merely one of it's tactics. We survivors are imbued with a capacity for it because social tit-for-tat had a strong survival advantage for our ancestors.

I see that as a logical, if unpleasant explanation for our occasional niceness (and for the fact our niceness tends to reduce in extremis! Why else would it?!) and a reason to think that the much more pleasant idea of a God-given kindness lodged in everyone's soul - is an unnecessary speculation.
