Situations
....Some question whether situations are an appropriate source of hurt because no moral wrong can be done by a situation. The finding; casuality is attributed to situation. It's perception that is thought to matter. What situational factors might lead an offender to hurt a participant? Situations highlight certain motives, but, put other motives in relative darkness. A blatant wrong can bring the issue into the open, to be held accountable and seek to build responsibility into them. The victim senses failure in the other's self control and, in a sense, tries to help them regain self control. Warmth based virtues are relegated to the background and do not emerge naturally. Only a conscious effort of the victim, or ensuing events can bring about empathy, sympathy or compassion for the wrong doer.
