I don’t feel bad for sad Russian solders

There have been some videos and images of Russian solders who have been captured or surrendered, looking sad or calling their parents. I don't feel any sympathy or empathy, for these solders.

Happiness

Happiness seems to be the goal of western culture (along with ‘success’ but I’ll get to that soon).
