Is compassion and logic mutually exclusive?
"The older I get, the more I realize that arguing on the basis of facts and logic only gets you labeled as someone who is out of step with the times, if not lacking in compassion."
- Thomas Sowell, columnist and author

It depends; Is one using logic to avoid compassion?
Katie, logic doesn't avoid compassion, it demands it.
Phil, you are right. Many do view truth as relative or subjective (and they are wrong). What I have seen has been when you try to demonstrate with facts and logic that some social program isn't working, you can find yourself being labeled as lacking compassion. I appreciate your insight and comment.
