[MD] [Bulk] Compassion

[MarshaV]

Of course a little further down in the Wiki article it reads:   

“Greek and Roman philosophers distrusted (feeling) compassion. In their view, reason alone was the proper guide to conduct. They regarded compassion ( a virtue) as an affect, neither admirable nor contemptible.” Thomas Szasz from his book "Cruel Compassion"
