I absolutely agree. It seems like compassion is something society is sorely lacking these days. It amazes me how uncaring some people can be. I don't think being compassionate has ever held me back. It has definitely cost me money....a house full of rescue cats, sponsoring underprivileged kids, donating money to online charity campaigns, giving cash to homeless people on the streets, etc.

But, it's never held me back from MAKING money, too. Then again, I don't work for corporate America. I've never had an interest in it. Before I began working for myself, I was a teacher, a counselor for troubled youth, a supervisor at a children's museum, and a background investigator (which just involved interviewing people, gathering records, and writing reports).

Bring back compassion, I say.
