Erring on the side of compassion appears to be an area where the billions of words written by or for the masses seem to converge as ~~> The Good.
Even Krishna, on the one hand - trying to coach young Arjuna about the occasional need for bloody Force, even against an Uncle's clan - next manifests (just for Arjuna's pleasure + Terror) as Siva.. Vishnu.. all-a-Unity: Death!
Look, I Am Become Death, The Destroyer of Worlds !!
Then reverts, lest a fragile homo-sap blood-pump goeth into fibrillation (I don't think there's a Sanskrit word for that!)
So then, better she hear the Universal Ichor from thee, an old connection - than some raw equivalent, heavily Freud-laden.. all soggy and hard to light, Y'know? (You've got a bunch of Interesting Deities on your side, in any event.)
