empathy is a double edge sword, often causing more suffering than not. empathy has no morals.

This makes no sense. People have moral systems, empathy is often a component of that.

compassion is love without conditions.

No it isn't. Compassion is about sympathy and pity, and also is without morals. Unconditional love isn't a thing, and people can act compassionately without loving someone. It also doesn't require understanding which is vital to resolution.

compassion does not require feeling what others are feeling in order to understand their suffering.

Empathy doesn't require you to feel their suffering, but to simply understand and appreciate it.

compassion is the goal, empathy is the shitty tool that sometimes achieves the goal.

Not my goal, seems shitty. Empathy appears to be superior.

Definitions:

Compassion: sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.

Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
