Compassion with a mosquito and monster

I am struggling with a clear answer to a question: should we have compassion for a mosquito and a monster as well? how can we develop compassion for those who harm us and suck our blood?

I feel that the stronger the identification with anything, the more difficult it will be to have compassion for anybody who is trying to take that away. For example, if somebody identifies strongly with the body, it becomes difficult to have compassion for anybody who is trying to harm the body. It applies to almost all of us and that is the reason why we are so discompassionate about parasites, bacteria, viruses, insects, mosquitos, and monsters. We just kill them ruthlessly. We spray our crops with insecticides and pesticides. Our homes and offices also go through regular sprays of these pesticides and insecticides. We take antibiotics and ant-viruses that kill millions of bacteria and viruses inside our bodies. We kill many of these life forms each day we take a bath. We use mosquito-killing sprays. 

If we identify that strongly with any other thing, we become similarly aggressive about that as well. For example, some human beings identify so strongly with money and wealth that they even murder others to either capture their wealth or protect their own wealth. Some identify with family, and some with their positions and power. Killing for power is quite common. Some identify with their nation and inflict war on other countries for expanding their territories. 

Society, as a whole, also identifies with certain values and norms and punishes the ones violating these norms. Society categorizes certain individuals taking part in certain crimes as monsters and happily kill these monsters. In the past, we have seen many examples of social brutality. Societies have killed many individuals who did to agree with the beliefs of the society of that time. 

We also see the killing of Kauravas by Pandavas and Krishna playing a very significant role in these killings. Where is compassion in all these things? I feel that the first criterion is whether killing is an act of aggression or self-defense. If one kills others for becoming bigger or stronger, that is a pure act of greed. This is probably the last stage of the cancer of self-obsession. On the other hand, a person may kill or harm others as an act of self-defense. The attacker is attacking ruthlessly with greed and aggression, and the defender is defending himself to protect his life. In this situation, the attacker has no compassion and is driven by greed and self-aggrandizement. Can the defender have compassion even in these situations?

I feel that compassion is a possibility in all situations. Compassion is the connection between the consciousness operating in two individuals and not between the two bodies or minds. The consciousness is always undivided and therefore always connected. That attacker has definitely lost touch with the same and that is the reason why he is undertaking such a heinous act of harming and killing the other. However, the defender may defend himself while remaining aware of that connection with the attacker at the level of consciousness. The defender knows very well that the attacker's mind is disconnected from that oneness and therefore he is undertaking these acts. Like Krishna, the defender tries all possible ways to bring the awareness of the divine connection back to the mind of the attacker and when that does not happen, despite all the efforts, the defender takes action knowing very well that all these actions are to free the consciousness from the evil body. That compassion always remains at the level of consciousness. That's what Rama did while killing Ravans. The moment Ravana recalled his divine connection, he sent Lakshmana to take the preachings from Ravana. If compassion is lost, there is no difference between Kauravas and Pandavas.
