Compassion

I think compassion makes the difference between humans and robots. Without compassion and emotion, we would only be thinking logically all the time. Sometimes, we need a little love in our life. It’s what keeps us sane a lot of the times. We need to have a balance between our mind and our heart. With the right amount of emotion and logic, we can most of the time make proper and right decisions. Of course there will be some times where they both clash into each other .For example, choosing the love your life and choosing you dream job thousands of miles away. Are you going to sacrifice your love or your dream? Both the situations are conflicted with each other. The logical approach would be to take the dream job; you are doing what you love and receiving money to keep you financially stable. For the emotional side, choosing the love of your life would make sense. You are most likely going to be spending the rest of your life together, why cause any rifts in it? For both sides to balance each other out, you would need to have a balance of both situations. If you think from both sides, you can have the best of both worlds. In the previous situation, you could have a long distance relationship and still keep the dream job. We need compassion to balance out our thoughts. This goes to same with rationality.  Two halves combined together make a whole. That is how we receive a harmonic virtue.
