Dead End Beginnings #1

The compassion was not visible. Neither was it invisible in an absolute sense. Only the eye perceiving further withdrawal would confirm the invisibility of compassion was indeed not absolute. Or if compassion existed it must be fully visible or fully invisible. Now the narrative is met with an existential complication before it can locate much less name a character or setting, as in, if such an abstract concept as compassion exists as a built-in component. Are some sentient beings born with preset levels of compassion (or capacity for empathy, sympathy, etc) or is it part of a vast selection of abstractions available for observation, consideration, selection, for the purpose of incorporating, or sampling; trying on for size?

Was the first theoretical man functioning with capacity for cruelty while working in the orchard? If the wife - who apparently came from the man, meaning the man in a way married himself, as in his feminine attributes extracted and formed into the curvy shapely figure he would then later insert himself into - so if the wife acted in rebellion and did naughty things like eating a forbidden fruit, was the capacity for being a naughty wife already within her? Or was the forbidden fruit she ate and which taste apparently made her eyes roll back in her head; was this forbidden fruit the naughty nature which she took from outside herself and then received within, and thus it swimmingly permeated? Of course let it not be forgotten, her husband was no angel either. For he too followed his wife's advice and he too took a taste of this forbidden fruit, which somehow entered into his person too; swimmingly permeating him.
