I would consider it but I am skeptical that it would be a worthwhile change. E.g. Something like "CompassionPlane" might promote more of a sense of equality but it also negates the dark truths that, if more readily confronted, would perhaps have helped certain people avoid the "pit" they are in. When you are feeling awful it does not help to pretend otherwise. You are truly feeling awful and not resisting it is the first step.

I welcome your thoughts

I agree with Kingsley. "Pit" is a very depressing word, more likely to conjure up images of the doldrums than of compassion.
