Do you think that true humanity (i.e., genuine, living humanity) manifests itself in feelings such as compassion and pity, and not in others, like love, which is an egoistic feeling (usually)?

– What is a human being? – says the Loser. – Just a human, a real human?
– I would explain it to you, – I reply. – If I were God. Stop it, okay?
– But I'm really interested, – the Loser continues to say in a calm, even indifferent voice, but there is a spark of excitement in his eyes.
– You are a human.
– Why?
Indeed, why? After all, I was ready to consider him just a clever program. I am at a loss, but Vika is also looking at me, waiting for an answer, and I say:
– I don't know. You didn't shoot people in the Labyrinth, you saved a non-existent child. But that's the most absolute nonsense... You quote Carroll in the original, but a human being is not just a memorized set of knowledge... You've been in the depths for three days, and you're still holding on...
Vika looks at the Loser in surprise.
– And how you entered the virtual world is unclear... but that's not an indicator of a human being, but quite the opposite...
He waits patiently.
– You know, it's probably in us, – I say unexpectedly, even to myself. – For me, you are a human... because I would like to be your friend.
