Best Hill in Town

When Compassion Replaces Truth
Compassion is a virtue, but compassion without truth becomes corruption. It turns mercy into permissiveness and kindness into cowardice. A healthy society needs both heart and spine. When compassion replaces truth, the heart becomes sentimental and the spine collapses. People begin to value comfort more than correction and feelings more than facts. The result is moral confusion that spreads from personal relationships into every institution.

When one group is shielded from correction while another carries the full weight of judgment, corruption takes root. Today, that imbalance has become deeply gendered. Men are punished for failure, while women are protected from it. Men are held to the standard of results, while women are measured by intentions. The scales of consequence are no longer even, and the results are visible everywhere.
